A street racer has been sentenced to two years of house arrest Wednesday after he was involved in an accident that caused the death of a Barrie father.
David Virgoe was killed after the truck he was driving was cut off by a speeding car on Highway 400.
Nauma Nusrat, 20, apologized for his actions. He called Virgoe a hero for driving into a ditch rather than hit other cars.
Virgoe's widow Debbie said she would have liked to see a heavier sentence for the 20-year-old, to help deter other motorists from driving at high speeds.
"I can't change what they did to David," she told reporters outside the courthouse in April. "I can only hope what they end up getting will deter the next person from doing this."
