Three people were hurt, and two hospitalized, after they were hit while walking through the parking lot of a Langley restaurant Friday night.
Just before midnight, a women left the Boston Pizza parking lot near the Colossus Theatre in Walnut Grove, without defrosting or scraping the ice from her windshield, said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP.
The driver then hit a 35-year-old Surrey woman, then a 31-year-old, also from Surrey, who was pushed several feet, and finally a 32-year-old Langley woman who was dragged a short distance.
The first woman was not seriously injured, but the other two were taken to hospital by ambulance. The third woman was the most seriously hurt, Marks said.
The driver, a 42-year-old from Langley, has been given a ticket for driving without due care and attention.
Drivers who start driving without clearing their windshields can face a $109 ticket, and penalties can be steeper if they hit someone or another car.
"With the onset of winter weather, it is the responsibility of the driver to ensure their windows are clear prior to proceeding," Marks said.
Pedestrians also have to obey traffic laws, and should exercise good sense wherever they could come into contact with traffic.
