Police in Surrey, British Columbia, say a 25-year-old woman was killed after being struck with a laptop computer during a car crash.
Heather Storey was driving on a business trip when she was rear-ended by a tow truck. Her laptop was in the back seat, unsecured. Police say the impact threw the computer out of the seat, striking Storey in the back of the head.
Her brother issued this warning: “Try not to keep stuff [in your car's back seat] that can get airborne or hit you, just because your family, and people that care about you, really will miss you when you’re gone.”
