Nearly seven years after a head-on crash that killed a young couple in Pitt Meadows, the driver responsible has been sentenced to serve 90 days in jail.

Andelina Hecimovic, a 29-year-old nurse, was convicted on two counts of dangerous driving causing death in connection with the October 2010 collision, which claimed the lives of Beckie Dyer, 19, and her boyfriend Johnny De Oliveira, 21.

Hecimovic has been ordered to serve her time mid-week, from Tuesdays to Thursdays, so she can continue working. The mothers of her two victims cried outside court after her sentence was handed down.

"She only gets a little bit here, a little bit there. That's wrong," said Audrey De Oliveira.

"There was no justice served here today. Not for us, not for the kids, not for the general public," added Debbie Dyer.

Hecimovic was also given a three-year driving ban, two years' probation and 120 hours of community service.

Police said Hecimovic was speeding down the Lougheed Highway when she ran a red light, lost control of her vehicle and slammed into the concrete median divider. The car went airborne and ripped the roof off an oncoming Suzuki Swift.

The occupants of that vehicle, who were on their way home from a Justin Bieber concert, both died at the scene.

Dyer's mother submitted a victim impact statement for Hecimovic's sentencing that described the devastating and ongoing impact of losing her daughter, who she described as her "miracle baby."

"I was told that I would never have children, so when I gave birth to Beckie, she was my world," she wrote.

"Everyone has a purpose in life, but now my reason for living, my purpose has been taken away from me. Beckie was my shining star, the love of my life, my purpose. The hole in my heart will never be filled... Now I just exist."

Dyer was studying to become a nurse herself, and De Oliveira was in the process of buying a home they could share. Dyer’s mother said she knew the couple would have married and had children of their own if they had survived.

Monday's sentence wasn't the mothers’ first disappointment in court. The driver who killed their children was acquitted in a previous trial in 2013, leaving the grieving parents outraged.

Crown prosecutors appealed for and were granted another trial, which led to Hecimovic's conviction.

Hecimovic's lawyer, Dimitri Kontou, said his client was coming home from work the night of the accident, and she was exhausted and emotionally distraught.

Her life has been dramatically impacted by the tragedy as well, he said.

"She continues to feel deep, deep remorse and responsibility for what occurred. And I don't know if she'll ever get over that," Kontou said.
