    A Canterbury man's admitted accidentally killing a well-known dog breeder when he drove after taking drugs

    A Canterbury man's admitted accidentally killing a well-known dog breeder when he drove after taking drugs


    James Solvander has pleaded guilty in the Christchurch District Court today to drug-driving causing death and causing injury.

    In early April - Solvander's van hit 48-year-old Clint Hoeben and his 14-year-old daughter as they rode their bikes near Fernside.

    Hoeben was killed, and his daughter suffered minor injuries.

    North Canterbury Kennel Association says Hoeben's passion was his staffies - but nothing in life surpassed his love for his wife and two children.
