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.’"

From stuff.co.nz:

“The new i20 is the car that could replace the Hyundai Getz in Australia from next year and Hyundai claims the diesel version will use just 4 litres per 100km, less than the Fiat 500 diesel (4.2L/100km) and the Toyota Prius (4.4L/100km).

The Euro-styled i20 will replace the Getz in Europe towards the end of this year but Hyundai Australia is yet to confirm whether the car will be sold down under.”
