Woman gets run over by own car

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

From http://g1.globo.com/sc/santa-catarina/noticia/2013/12/mulher-nao-puxa-freio-de-mao-e-morre-atropelada-pelo-proprio-veiculo.html

Translation: A women died after being run over by her own car this Wednesday (Dec. 5th, 2013) evening, in Biguaçu, a town located in the greater Florianopolis. According to the police, the housewife Cleusa Gonçalves da Maia, 32, left her vehicle in neutral gear and didn't pull the handbrake, and was hit by her own car.

The hit happened in the parking lot of the condo where the victim lived, in Doutor Homero de Miranda street, in downtown Biguaçu. According to the police, the victim died at the scene of the accident, around 10:30PM.

According to the police, Cleusa left the car and didn't pull the handbrake. The VW Cross Fox moved and the woman tried to prevent it from crashing against the wall, and was pressed by the car against said wall.

The emergency service was called to rescue her, but when they arrived at the scene Cleusa has already deceased. The Forensics dept. was at the scene to collect the body and id the victim.

------------------

My own notes: It wasn't a hit-and-run, it was a run-and-hit.

Definitely Toss: Too Common
Thanks, Alex, but this sort of accident is quite commonplace. You can find lots of examples in the archives of people getting run over by their own vehicles.
