Harpreet Kaur Mann was given CPR after she was hit and killed while walking home from her job. A 2006 Toyota Corolla was travelling east on 80 Avenue at 122A Street when it hit Mann and a telephone pole.
Prompt delivery of CPR
The 47-year old female driver of the vehicle sustained minor injuries and was treated in a healthcare facility. The firefighters performed CPR on Mann at the scene but she later died in the hospital.
The family wants criminal charges pursued against the driver who hit Mann. According to Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger, the Mounties are currently investigating the mechanical condition of the car and the possibility that the driver was distracted along with other contributing factors.
Grainger could not say for certain whether there was a live cellphone in the car at the time, but the investigation would involve examination of the phone records to figure out whether there was a call being made at the time of the accident.
