Last month, 25-year-old Heather Storey was driving to work through Surrey, British Columbia, as she did most days, with her laptop computer perched on the backseat of her car. When her car was suddenly hit by a towtruck, that innocent laptop turned to a deadly projectile.

Yesterday morning, according to the CBC News, Sergeant Roger Morrow of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police told the press, "’What we believe happened [was] that she was struck in the back of her head and neck with this laptop computer. She simply didn’t have it secured within the confines of her car, and ultimately it has been the instrument of her death.’"
