Wife of Hallmark actor dies and child is injured in horrific assault

Among those killed when a driver ploughed into a crowd at the Lapu-Lapu Day festival in the car-ramming attack in Vancouver in April was costume designer Jenifer Darbellay, wife of Hallmark actor Noel Johansen. His son, 15, and daughter, 7, also attended the festival together with their parents.

Both Johansen and his daughter were injured.

A couple of days following the tragedy, heartbroken Johansen, who appeared on crutches, said during a candlelight vigil, “What you see here is an injury that means nothing to me because what’s inside my heart is broken. Because my wife passed away behind me at the incident.”
