CASH CAB KILLER: MAN MOWED DOWN BY TV CAR

KILLER CAB

THE CASH Cab turned killer in Vancouver on Friday, when the fake taxi used in the Canadian version of the show struck and killed a pedestrian. Cops say the 61-year-old man was hit in the city's Downtown after the show had finished filming for day and was being driven back to a storage facility of Castlewood Productions, which produces the show.  
Company president Andrew Burnstein said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and his friends and his family. My heart also goes out to the driver of the vehicle, a member of our technical staff, who is shaken and devastated by this tragic accident, as is our entire team."
VPD spokesman Const. Lindsey Houghton told the Vancouver Sun:
"There were no witnesses," he said, adding that investigation is ongoing and no charges have been recommended yet.
On "Cash Cab," broadcast in North America on the Discovery Channel, unassuming people who flag down a replica yellow taxi become instant contestants on a game show, answering trivia questions for cash prizes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the VPD Collision Investigation Unit at 604-717-3012.
