A spokesperson for Boston Pizza International Inc. issued a statement to Global News about the tragic incident.
Friends, family and co-workers are mourning the loss of a 24-year-old woman who died after a pickup truck crashed into the northern Alberta restaurant she worked at on Saturday.
Global News has spoken to a person who has started a GoFundMe page to raise money for the victim’s family to help with funeral costs, loss of income and other expenses they are facing in the wake of the tragedy.
The victim has been identified as Emily Verge. She was working as a server at a Boston Pizza restaurant in downtown Fort McMurray when she was hit by the pickup truck.
The RCMP said the crash happened just before noon.
Tiffany Audet told Global News she was dining in the restaurant with her son when the vehicle slammed into the building.
“The building shook,” she said. “We heard this really loud bang.
“We were sitting on the restaurant side and we heard it come from the bar side.”
Audet said she tried to perform CPR on Verge until paramedics arrived and said others were helping too amid the chaotic scene.
