The lady is identified as Marvellous Ugochukwu, who was 19. She lived with her elder sister, Miracle Ugochukwu.
Her sister said:
"She was going to work that Sunday, and she was happy going to work when it happened."
She said her sister's colleagues at work were calling because she hadn't arrived after leaving home.
At some point, Miracle decided to go and look for her sister, and that was when she found out what had happened.
Her sister was waiting for a bus at Dewdney Avenue near Elphinstone Street, Regina, when she was killed by a truck that brought down the structure.
On getting to the bus stop, Miracle was shown her sister's passport and was told that the owner of the ID was deceased.
CBS reports that Marvellous had taken a break from the University of Regina, where she studied due to financial issues. She was working at a restaurant and hoping to return to school as she wanted to be a surgeon.

@Gloria said:
"How complex can this be? he was speeding, went through a red light, no signs he even tried to stop. If he wouldn't have hit the car the carnage probably would have been worse. Lucky no one else was injured or killed. She was way to young to lose her life from stupidity of another."
@rbkukard said:
"What a nightmare. Hope Miracle is provided with care and services to handle the loss. I am so disappointed that they told her the bad news so coldly."
@Stayhigh2087 said:

@Paragon said:
"Chai, Everything the sister said about her is true, she was a nice girl, it hurt to see that she’s gone.."
