Alberta man loses appeal for fatal Sicamous collision

Justice Karen Horsman has dismissed the appeal of Kent Gordon Rumbles, an Alberta man sentenced to four years in prison following a fatal head-on collision in Sicamous.

The incident occurred on November 6, 2021, on the Bruhn Bridge. Rumbles, driving an eastbound pickup truck, crossed the center line and collided with a westbound truck. The driver of the second vehicle, 48-year-old Shaun Stacey Michael of Kamloops, died at the scene. Rumbles sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Rumbles was convicted of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing death, impaired operation of a conveyance causing death, and operating a conveyance with a blood alcohol level of 80 milligrams or more per 100 millilitres causing death. Evidence presented during the proceedings indicated that Rumbles, an insulin-dependent diabetic, had purchased alcohol during his trip and consumed hard seltzers while driving erratically.
