| 17-Year-Old Student Killed by Dump Truck @ Nanaimo & Hastings
http://www.news1130.com/news/local/a...y-a-dump-truck Quote:
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver Police are have shut down East Hastings and Nanaimo Streets after a teen was struck and killed this morning.
VPD Constable Jana McGuinness says a 17-year old boy was walking along Hastings and across Nanaimo around 8:25 a.m. "A dump truck heading south on Nanaimo, after making a right-turn off of Hastings, struck the young man and killed him instantly in the intersection."
"What we know at this point is that this driver has been fully cooperating, and is completely traumatized by this incident."
The victim has family overseas and they are trying to contact them.
People walking by the very busy intersection say one person was hit and killed at the same site about six months ago. A couple of store owners say they hear screeching tires quite a bit and it is not a safe intersection.

Isn't this the intersection that everyone speeds by because of the slope or something?
Damn that sucks. Probably walking to school in the morning and gets taken out by a truck

Yeah it's pretty busy there, maybe one car can turn left at each light, lots of pedestrians and lots of cars, I drive by everyday about half an hour before the incident to SFU. I assume the kid went to templeton?

That intersection is always busy plus the fact people turn left off of hastings all the time which basically makes it a one way intersection... I always try to avoid that area...

The teen was walking along Hastings. This is a dump truck, so it is unlikely it was cornering very fast, yet certainly cannot stop very fast.
Without knowing which direction the teen was walking, this leaves 2 scenarios:
1. The truck driver did not see the pedestrian before making the turn, then could not stop in time.
2. The truck driver was committed to the turn and the pedestrian started to cross without looking.
Either way, RIP.
