Virginia woman killed by driverless car
From NBC12 News
arch 20, 2003
Virginia State Police say a Craigsville woman was killed when she tried to stop a moving car in Lexington.
Trooper M.W. Grubb says 54-year-old Bonnie Lou McCutcheon and her husband, James, had gone to visit someone in Lexington on Tuesday afternoon.
But when they tried to leave, they found that a part near their car's axle had broken. They left the car parked top of the hill and began walking down the one-lane, dirt-and-gravel road to get a ride home.
Grubb says the car began rolling down the hill, and picked up speed. James McCutcheon moved out of the car's path, but his wife put her arms out to try to stop it. She was knocked onto the hood, then fell off and was run over by the car. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
