Ajamkot Sandhu, 25, Sentenced to Eight Years for Fatal Impaired Driving Crash
Victim’s Family Finds Closure as Court Hands Down Judgment.
A Mississauga man has been sentenced to eight years in prison for a fatal crash that claimed the life of a rideshare passenger in 2021. Ajamkot Sandhu, 25, was convicted on multiple charges, including impaired driving and dangerous driving causing death, after a jury found him guilty in August 2024.
The tragic collision occurred on September 11, 2021, at the intersection of Winston Churchill Boulevard and Burnhamthorpe Road. Sandhu, driving a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta, was speeding at 124 km/h in a 60 km/h zone when he slammed into a southbound Subaru operating as a Lyft rideshare vehicle. The impact killed 34-year-old passenger Matthew Cruz and left both the Lyft driver and Sandhu’s girlfriend with serious injuries.
Sandhu, who had been out on bail since his arrest four months after the crash, was taken into custody following his sentencing. In addition to his prison term, he has been handed a 15-year driving ban.
