'Cash Cab' kills pedestrian in Vancouver
Quote:
Tragedy befell the lighthearted game show "Cash Cab" Friday when a producer for the Canadian branch of the show struck and killed an elderly pedestrian in Vancouver.
The driver was returning the mobile set to a storage facility after filming for the day wrapped when he hit the 61-year-old Surrey, British Columbia, resident in the city's Downtown Eastside district. The victim, whose name hasn't been released, died in a local hospital soon after the collision.

Edit: I misread, thought it was during filming the show. Still, sad.

Obviously an attempt to get back at Surrey residents for all that rioting they did!

When I hear elderly, I picture over 70.
61 just doesn't seem "elderly".

It's not. It's middle-aged by today's standards me thinks.

This is a textbook example of irony. You have a game show where the host is a distracted driver. Yet the cab hits someone when the show isn't filming, and the driver, presumably, isn't distracted. Sad.

in fact, it wasn't even the same driver. It was a producer driving, not the show host as usual.

Maybe being in Vancouver causes people to be old beyond their years.
