A Hamilton man with a history of drinking and driving has been handed a five-year prison sentence for being impaired in a car crash that fatally injured a 33-year-old Halifax woman.

Joseph Warren, 42, pleaded guilty on Monday to impaired driving causing death and marijuana possession. The charges stem from an Oct. 31 collision, when his 2006 Toyota Corolla hit Zoë Nuddell — an artist who moved to Hamilton two weeks earlier — while she was jogging on Charlton Avenue East near the Wentworth Stairs.
