Killing one person and injuring four others — including the deceased’s parents and disabled sister — while driving drunk has landed a city woman a 3 1/2-year penitentiary term.

Justice Keith Yamauchi on Thursday said Jaylene Lagrelle’s conduct in running a red light and smashing her SUV into a car warranted the punishment.

Lagrelle, 30, pleaded guilty last week to impaired driving causing death in connection with the Oct. 23, 2016, crash that killed Calgarian Shiraz Shermohammad.

Shermohammad, 19, was a passenger in his father Karim’s Kia Forte when Lagrelle smashed into them with her Dodge Journey at up to 103 km/h at Country Hills Boulevard and Metis Trail N.E.

Based on breath samples provided more than two hours after the crash, her blood-alcohol level was estimated at between 154 and 179 mg per 100 mL of blood.

Shermohammad’s father, mother and sister were injured, as well as a passenger in Lagrelle’s vehicle.
