Rupinder Dhaliwal, 29, of Etobicoke spent two days in hospital and is now facing 90 days in jail — to be served on weekends — after leading guilty yesterday (Aug. 26) to dangerous driving and impaired driving.

When she approached the vehicle, both Dhaliwal and another Etobicoke man, his co-driver, were dazed and confused.1 X* [& H* c9 Y
“He kept closing his eyes and almost falling asleep while I was questioning him,” Wenzlaff wrote in a summary of the case.2 g6 a) e1 l9 A( ^ }& V$ G, ?- ~. L' v
The officer was so concerned, she called an ambulance and Dhaliwal was taken to Cambridge Memorial Hospital. Doctors couldn’t determine what was wrong and he was put on life-support while authorities investigated possible carbon monoxide poisoning.
