A&W Worker Lowkey Got Fried by a Driver + Another Pedestrian Hit 🤕

The Deets

OK, so first off, this is messed up. Back in March 2024, this 80-year-old was driving, and they full-on YEETED their car into an A&W in North Vancouver. But here's the wild part: some poor A&W worker got hit with boiling hot oil. Like, she ended up spending three weeks in the ICU and almost a month in a burn unit. She's got life-altering injuries now, which is a major L.

The driver got charged with driving without due care and attention, and they pled guilty. The sentence? A $1,500 fine plus a $225 victim surcharge. But here's where it gets even more sus: because it's a Motor Vehicle Act thing and not a Criminal Code thing, the worker CAN'T EVEN SUE for more money. WorkSafeBC is covering most of her bills and salary, and ICBC is supposed to cover the rest, but still, that's a major L for her. Like, can you even?

But wait, there's more! In Vancouver, a 68-year-old woman was walking when BAM! - a black GMC Sierra smacked her. This happened on Cambie Street at West 57th Avenue. She also got seriously messed up and had to go to the hospital. Cops are on the scene playing detective and are trying to find any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage. The driver stayed at the scene, and it looks like they weren't speeding or under the influence, which is good I guess. If you know anything, call the VPD’s Collision Investigation Unit at 604-717-3012. This is all kinds of messed up, no cap.
