VANCOUVER — The TV production company for a trivia show that’s filmed inside a fake taxi has offered condolences after its vehicle hit and killed a pedestrian late Friday in Vancouver.

Andrew Burnstein, president of Castlewood Productions Inc., says the team with Cash Cab sends out thoughts and prayers to the 61-year-old victim from Surrey, B.C. and his family.

Vancouver Police say the unidentified man died of injuries suffered when he was struck just before midnight in the Downtown Eastside, and while charges haven’t been laid the factors leading to the collision are still being determined.

Burnstein says in a statement the incident happened as a producer drove the mock cab back to a storage facility after filming.

Meantime, a 34-year-old Vancouver woman was rushed to hospital after a hit-and-run collision just after midnight in the city’s south end.

Houghton says the injured woman lay in the road until an ambulance arrived and police are now searching for a 2003 to 2007 dark-coloured Nissan Murano with front-end damage that includes a broken headlight.
