As she always did, Harpreet Kaur Mann decided to walk home from her evening shift at a Surrey KFC restaurant Thursday rather than trouble someone for a ride.

That simple decision, which family say was characteristic of the 37-year-old mother of two, led to tragedy when a car veered off 80th Avenue, crushing her against a telephone pole.

Family are demanding charges be laid against the 47-year-old woman who lost control of her Toyota Corolla and drove on to the sidewalk, killing Mann.
