Surrey, B.C., Woman, 22, Injured Using Cellphone While Crossing Busy Street

The Canadian Press, 04 Feb, 2019 06:02 PM

    SURREY, B.C. — Distracted walking may have played a part in an incident in Surrey, B.C., that sent a pedestrian to hospital with head injuries.


    RCMP say the 22-year-old Surrey woman was viewing her cellphone when she stepped off the curb into the path of a taxi.


    It happened just after 9 p.m. on Saturday, near busy Scott Road at 99th Ave., in northwest Surrey.


    An RCMP news release says the woman was crossing mid-block when she was hit.


    Although she required medical treatment, police say her head injuries are not considered life-threatening.


    The taxi remained at the scene and speed and alcohol have been ruled out, although investigators say "pedestrian inattention" was a factor.
