OLDS — A man who angrily rammed his truck into a crowd of people outside an Alberta bar, killing one person, has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 14 years.

Jeffrey Leinen, 25, of Calgary was found guilty last week of second-degree murder and aggravated assault.

Nicholas Baier, 18, and another man was injured when Leinen drove his pickup truck into them outside a bar in Olds, Alta., in October 2010.

Witnesses testified Leinen had been kicked out of the bar for fighting.

The judge is also recommending that Leinen not be allowed to drive for 15 years following his release.
