A pedestrian is dead after being struck and killed by a taxi used in the Canadian version of the TV game show "Cash Cab."

Vancouver police told The Associated Press a 61-year-old man from Surrey, B.C., died in a hospital shortly after being struck by the mock yellow cab late Friday. Police did not immediately release the victim's identity.

The accident happened as a producer was driving the replica cab back to a storage facility after filming for the day had been completed, said Andrew Burnstein, president of Castlewood Productions Inc., which produces the show's Canadian version.

Circumstances leading to the crash were still being determined and no charges have yet been filed, the AP reported.

at least it wasn't during filming so it's yet another traffic accident rather than an extraordinary occurrence.

I was thinking the same thing when I read the story a few days and couldn't stop laughing about it. 😛

"Okay, questions are now worth $100 each. For $100, during the course of a year, what's the average number of traffic fatalities in this city? ... 5 seconds ... " <thump> "Uh oh."
