Cash Cab taxi kills pedestrian downtown vancouver
 

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) -A mock taxi from the reality TV show "Cash Cab" has been involved in a fatal accident, after hitting and killing a man on Cordova Street late Friday night.

A day of filming had wrapped, and a member of the crew was behind the wheel heading to a storage lot when the crash happened around midnight.

The 61-year-old Surrey man hit by the van was seriously injured and died a few hours later in hospital.

The vehicle is made up to look like a Yellow Cab, but Carolyn Bauer with the company says other than the markings on the outside, the company has no affiliation with the production. "The vehicle is not owned by us. It was a vehicle made up to look like a Yellow Cab. It's not owned by us, it's not insured by us."

The show's production company, Castlewood Productions, is offering condolences to both the victim's family and the crew member behind the wheel.

So far this year there have been 13 traffic-related fatalities in the City of Vancouver, nine of which were pedestrians.

I hope the pedestrian wasn't jaywalking or anything because downtown has a serious problem with that, it's annoying as fuck too...

RIP to the man though.

i didn't realized they had cash cab in vancouver.

rip old man.

Accidents happen now.

poor guy, RIP.

They just started it; I tweeted that I'd spotted the cab when they were doing camera testing and whatnot. Guess they're not gonna be filming here anymore for awhile...too bad. I was gonna start trying to hail yellow cab minivans.

downtowns too hectic especially with the bike lanes now

Couple guys I know got in the cash cab. They are both kinda actors I guess and their agent just told them to be a point a and get picked up by a cab and dropped off at point b. Kinda gay thats its not really random people.

Hardly any of this "reality tv" bullshit is actually 100% real.

Cash Cab is filmed here? I thought it was only in Toronto

This post makes me sad.
