Freak garage accident

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A 63 year old London woman was killed last night in a hospital parking garage after a freak accident while backing up her pickup truck. Sgt. David Kelday said the woman whose name was not released had been visiting a relative at London Health Sciences Center's University campus and was backing her truck out of a fifth floor space. "It appears...the driver was pinned between the open door and a concrete pillar." Kelday said. The woman, who apparently died of a head injury, was pronounced dead at hospital. While there were no witnesses, an officer at the scene suggested the woman may have stuck her head out to investigate why the truck was scraping. There were scrapes on the side of the vehicle. A police identification officer and the coroner were inspecting damage to the truck last night.

At 63, she probably doesn't make the reproduction rule, but yeah - sticking your head out the window (in a parking garage!) to see what you're scraping on? That's pretty dumb.

Definitely Toss: Not Amusing
Without more information - No Darwin! I'm 59 and have bone spurs in my cervical vertebrae. It *hurts* to turn my neck around and - whilst I don't stick my head out of the window while backing up - I shan't argue with her decision! No excellence, merely a lapse in judgment (And I merely say that I wish that you should live ten years and more past your first half century!) Heh!

Takes a fair lack of inteligence not to invisage the cause of the scraping when you're parked next to a pillar..


Bill said:

Not just sticking your head out, but sticking your head out because the car is scraping - it qualifies.

This one has some potential with more detail. Sticking head out of a moving vehicle has been done by bus and train passengers, but I do not recall a recent driver doing this
