A nine-year-old boy, Aiden Guimaraes, was fatally struck by a drunk driver in Robina, who was speeding over 130 km/h and had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit. Aiden’s mother, Andrea, witnessed the crash while riding a separate e-bike and testified that the driver lied about the accident and tried to touch her son’s body. Aiden’s father, David, described the horrific impact that bent a fence and sent the bike’s battery flying 60 meters. The driver, Keith Chambers, had consumed two beers before driving and had a prior history of DUIs and license suspensions. His defense claimed he’s deeply remorseful, even offering to trade places with Aiden, and he’s already completed substance abuse programs and spent over a year in custody. Chambers has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and high-range drink driving, with sentencing pending.
