$2K fine in crash that killed 2 at BC wedding "outrageous," family says

The woman who was behind the wheel in a West Vancouver crash that left two people dead will not be criminally charged. Hong Xu was charged with one count of driving a motor vehicle without due care and attention in connection with the Aug. 20, 2022, crash. A wedding reception was taking place at the time and a large crowd had gathered. Xu reportedly mistook the gas pedal for the brake, smashing through a fence and a gate, killing two women and injuring nine others, including herself. Xu pleaded guilty to one count of driving without due care and attention under the Motor Vehicle Act. Crown counsel and defence have jointly requested a $2,000 fine and a five-year driving prohibition. For the Kong family, that is not close to enough. Global's Catherine Urquhart reports.
