Woman Run Over
"An elderly woman died after being run over by her own car at coffs harbour yesterday. The 78 year-old driver fell out of the open door while attempting to reverse into a parking space on harbour drive. Police say the woman was 'ejected' from her car after it reversed sharply into the parking space. 'The woman was struck by the vehicle which stopped after colliding with the gutter' a police spokesperson said"

She was reversing into a parking spot. You are not required to wear a seat belt while reversing.
Yes it is sad, and a little bit funny at the same time.

Who reverses into a carpark with their door open? With no seatbelt... After being ejected she ended up behind the car? What the hell. That is one of those incidents where everything just went wrong.

i'm sorry to say but if she can't reverse without falling out of her car, then how good a driver could she be?
sad still

Maybe she couldn't hang out of the car far enough with the seatbelt on. The things people do don't always have to be logical. In this case her decision was fatal.
