According to police, 25-year-old Heather Storey died when she was hit by a laptop while driving to work last month. Storey usually kept her laptop in the backseat of the vehicle.

The momentum caused due to sudden braking sent the laptop "flying" and hit her in the head, the police was quoted as saying by the Vancouver Sun.

According to investigators, the woman would have survived had she secured the laptop and warned people not to leave their belongings unsecured in the back of their vehicles.
