Woman too focus on cellphone falls

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

MONTREAL — A 20-year-old was so distracted by her cellphone that she fell between metro cars in Montreal last Friday morning and was crushed to death, according to video surveillance footage.

Audrey-Anne Dumont, from south of Montreal, was one of the last passengers still on the metro platform after the train arrived to the southwest station around 8:15 a.m. on Friday, April 19.

Metro video surveillance footage shows Dumont looking down at her cellphone and walking into the gap between two cars.

Passengers called metro officials when they noticed traces of blood on the tracks after the train had passed.

Coroner Catherine Rudel-Tessier is treating the death as an accident, QMI Agency has learned.

Montreal's Transit Authority would not comment.
