Emma Czornobaj : Quebec motorist on trial in ducks case

A young woman who stopped her car on a Quebec highway to help some ducks cross the road is now on trial, accused of causing an accident that killed a father and his teenage daughter.

Czornobaj is charged with criminal negligence and dangerous driving causing death. She faces life in prison if convicted.

Before the trial began the judge gave the jury standard instructions not to read any media reports about the case and said that Czornobaj is not required to testify.

In opening arguments, the Crown asked the jury to consider if a reasonable person would have stopped their car in a traffic lane on a highway in order to get out and let ducks cross the road.

Volikakis and other witnesses to the crash will testify, as will a collision reconstruction expert.

The trial is expected to wrap up in three weeks.
