The man accused of impaired driving and dangerous driving in the death of a Town of Alliston worker who was stuck and killed while painting parking lines, has taken the stand at his trial.
Marcelo Fracassi, 33, has pleaded not guilty to all charges relating to the June 20, 2014 death of town worker Geoff Gaston, a married father and volunteer firefighter.
Fracassi faces seven charges including impaired driving, failing to remain at the scene of an accident and dangerous driving causing death.
According to published reports, Fracassi's lawyer intends to argue that on the night of the collision Fracassi was "sleep driving" and has a documented history of sleep disorders.
