Vancouver Party Bus Death: Woman Falls From Moving Vehicle

Sliver Lady Limousine Services has been in operation for 25 years.

The driver, who stopped immediately when other passengers alerted him to the fall, is co-operating with the police investigation into the incident.

Vancouver Police have yet to release the name of the victim.

One woman is dead after falling off a moving party bus in Vancouver Saturday night.

Around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, police responded to Burrard Street at West Hastings Street crossing after receiving a report that a woman had fallen from a party bus.

Under the new guidelines, all limousine operators with perimeter seating vehicles, such as stretch SUVs and limo-buses, must have each vehicle in their fleet approved by the Passenger Transportation Board.

Police said that it appears that a group of approximately 24 people were celebrating a birthday inside the bus. The circumstances of the fall remain unclear; it is also not known whether alcohol or mechanical failure is involved.

Those changes were a step in the right direction but greatly inadequate, said Julie Raymond, whose 16-year-old daughter Shannon died at a friend’s house after taking drugs aboard a party bus in 2008.
