CALGARY man warns Trans- Canada Highway drivers after daughter-in-law killed by falling rock

Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: A Calgary man is raising concerns about the safety of a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway near Golden, British Columbia


His daughter-in-law was killed there by falling rock, and his daughter and grandchildren narrowly avoided injury.

Laura Tennant, her wife Lisa and their two young children were driving from Cochrane to B.C. on March 4 to celebrate their second wedding anniversary.

“These two were fantastic moms who would not take a risk with their kids ever,” said Lisa’s father Alan Tennant from his home in Calgary.

Tennant said Lisa was driving. He was in a vehicle with his wife, about an hour behind the couple. Alan said they were chatting with the children on the phone.
About four kilometres east of Golden, a boulder came through the roof of the jeep. Laura died from her injuries. Lisa and the girls were spared.
