A lawyer for Jordan Gregory Sullivan, 30, of King Street East asked Thursday for a trial by judge and jury on a charge of impaired driving causing death. A preliminary inquiry will be held on Jan. 4, 2012. Charges were laid against Sullivan in July for a collision on the airport arterial that took the life of Sheila Bayers on March 11, 2011. The crash happened around 8:30 p.m. on the road connecting Rothesay with the airport. Sullivan and Bayers were each alone in their vehicles when the collision occurred. Sullivan is also charged with criminal negligence causing death by operating a motor vehicle in the opposite lane. Sullivan is represented by defence lawyer David Lutz.
