OTTAWA (Reuters) - A Canadian hitchhiker, who stole an elderly man's car after he offered her a ride, died a few minutes later when she lost control of the vehicle and crashed into trees, police said.

The crash happened near the town of Hawkesbury -- about 100 km (60 miles) northeast of Ottawa -- after the man stopped to pick up 20-year-old Mandy Deschambeault.

"The male driver proceeded to step out of his vehicle momentarily at which point the female jumped in the driver seat, stealing the male person's car," local police said in a statement Monday.

"She proceeded to lose control of the ... car, crossing the other lane hitting trees. The female was ejected from the vehicle and found to be without vital signs."

Works for me. Solves that little repeat-offender problem, too.

If she had survived, she’d probably be in deep trouble. It sounds like she was driving without her safety belt.

[Wolfie]

Not sure about Canada, but if this was the U.S., I’d expect a lawsuit from the girl’s family.

Not having vital signs can be very series.

Do we know if she had any "vital signs" before she stole the car?

The car could still smell the old man and randomly switched operations of the brake and gas pedals. "I had my foot on the brake when the car sped up, jumped the parking blocks and crashed through the store window."

Put that one into the poetic justice file

Yes, but only from the neck down. The rest was clearly not functioning.

"Not sure about Canada, but if this was the U.S., I’d expect a lawsuit from the girl’s family."

Likely a non-starter up here ... but, it's kind of a trade-off:
In Canada, trial lawyers are light years more under control than Stateside while, our msm is arguably worse, our Judges even more unaccountable & radical, anti-majority special interest groups have historically received far more public funding.

btw, those 3 differences are, in a nutshell, how we ended up with legalized gay 'marriage'.

Probably one of those evil S.U.V.s, they are bad about doing that.

** sniff **

I love a happy ending.

Hope the old guy had insurance on the car.

Where is the story from this girls grandmother about what a great kid she was.?

[Republic_of_Secession.]

Talk about poetic justice. Though having to die from stealing the car is certainly a steep price to be paid. This individual was either a klutz or did not know how to drive a car.
