CALGARY - A University of Calgary student was acquitted Monday of all three charges related to a car-pedestrian accident that killed a six-year-old girl in January 2007.

Provincial court Judge Catherine Skene, in a written ruling, found Angela Ta, 19, not guilty of careless driving, failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk and passing a vehicle stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk related to the crash that killed Jenna Chang and injured the girl's mother, Ye Qiao.

“It’s just very sad . . . very tough,” Wei Chang, the girl's father, said outside court following provincial court Judge Catherine Skene. “This case, justice is not served. I don’t know how to tell my wife.”

The judge wrote that Ta could not have stopped her father’s black BMW in time before it struck Chang and Qiao att 32nd Ave. and 37th St. N.W. on Jan. 18, 2007.

“Based on the evidence and testimony that I did have before me,” wrote Skene, “there is evidence to suggest that the two pedestrians stepped off the sidewalk and/or curb, onto the roadway — specifically westbound 32nd Avenue into the path of Ta’s vehicle when Ta’s vehicle was so close that it was impracticable for the driver to yield the right of way.”
