"A forensic collision analysis found that Veinpel's 2021 Ford F-150's passenger-side pillar created a blind spot capable of obscuring pedestrians of Lynza’s height."

This is the 12th pedestrian fatality in Vancouver - that we're aware of - in 2025. (23 total when including Lapu Lapu). Last year "only" saw 7 pedestrian fatalities. The city is moving backwards on this and our mayor is MIA.

5 people have been killed on the roads in Metro Vancouver in the last week, including a driver, a cyclist, and 3 pedestrians, one of whom was a young child. Each of them had lives, families and friends, aspirations and potential that will not be realized. Each of them could have been me, or you.

The streetscape where this happened. No sidewalks, the only bit of gravel space beside the road used for more parking (despite massive driveways and garages at each house). This is a half block from a daycare and elementary school.

Horrified to learn of another pedestrian killed on Hastings in the DTES. This is the most dangerous stretch of road in the whole province for pedestrians yet the city refuses to do anything other than put up 30km/h signs with no enforcement. Hastings needs a road diet and real traffic calming.

Can confirm. This is literally the most aggravating thing about being partially blind. You have to look really hard so a driver doesn't try to "beat" you through the crosswalk. And by beat, I mean kill you with their car.
"The City’s own data indicate that conflicts involving right-turning vehicles are among the most common types of pedestrian collisions ... If adopted, these changes would mark one of the most significant intersection-safety reforms in Vancouver in years."

Just fucking stop for a minute and think about how ridiculous it would be for someone to hit another car from behind and then the police blamed the car that got hit for not getting out of the way.

It looks like unfortunately we're going to have to add another $400 million to the "ICBC rebate" on this chart.

Reminder that the e-bike rebate, which only ever received $6.5 million, is the single most effective way to get cars off the road & make streets safer.
