No sign driver tried to brake before gas station attendant hit: police expert
CALGARY — A police investigator says there was no indication that the driver of a truck involved in a hit and run that killed a gas station worker tried to brake.
Const. Kevin Spear, a collision reconstructionist, testified Friday at the trial of Joshua Cody Mitchell, 22, who is charged with second-degree murder.
Maryam Rashidi, 35, was trying to stop a driver from leaving a Centex gas station in Calgary without paying for $113 worth of stolen fuel.
She chased the truck out into traffic and climbed onto the hood in an attempt to get the driver to come back.
