Tracey Ann Ward suffered a catastrophic brain injury in the Aug. 27, 2018 crash that killed her sister, massage therapist Kim Ward
A car dealership is appealing a decision by the B.C. Supreme Court that awarded $5.5 million to a woman critically injured when a new Jeep struck her on Central Saanich Road in 2018.Anthony Thomas was driving the Jeep on Central Saanich Road when he lost consciousness, crossed the centre line and struck the sisters, who were out walking their dogs after having dinner with their mother, Ellen.
Ellen Ward launched the civil suit in February 2022 against Thomas, the Harris Victoria car dealership and Aggatha Siah, a woman who had signed an agreement to buy the Jeep. Harris Victoria continued to communicate with the lending company for the next nine days. At the end of the ninth day, Thomas was handed the keys and asked to run an errand.
The car dealership is arguing it is not liable because it did not own the car and the contract with Siah had essentially completed. It is also arguing that it would not have given Thomas permission to drive the car if it had known he had taken drugs.
