The driver who struck and killed 25-year-old Gemma Snowball last year pled guilty to charges stemming from the fatal crash in court last week.
Kelowna resident Ryan Follack, 29, was in court last week where he pled guilty to charges of driving without due care and driving without reasonable consideration, according to a press release from the New Westminster police.
Snowball was walking home from work at about 10:30 p.m. on March 11, 2013, when she was hit by a car while crossing at Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue. She died two days later in hospital.
The young woman had recently moved to New Westminster from Perth, Australia and was working at the deli counter at Safeway (now Save-On). Co-workers said Snowball was a fun-loving, cheerful and energetic young woman.
New Westminster police recommended Crown counsel lay charges against the driver after a lengthy investigation by its collision analysis and reconstruction team and independent experts.
Follack is expected back in court for sentencing in August.
