This news just came across my friend's Facebook posting.
A happy family, shattered in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only an older daughter who had just finished her high school entrance exams and whose grades aren’t bad, as well as a 6-year-old younger daughter who barely understands the meaning of the word “tragedy”.
This tragedy happened two nights ago around 8;30pm, in the underground parking garage of Ningbo Fenghua Yangguang Mingdu Community.
The accident happened at night at about 8:35 pm.
According to the community residents, this is how the tragedy happened:
The husband himself got out of the car to guide her [in backing up], walked to the rear end of the car, and suddenly, with a roar of the throttle, the Lexus reversed at high speed, and pinned the husband who was standing between the rear door of the car and the garage wall as he gave a loud cry.
Hearing her husband’s scream, the wife at the steering wheel promptly opened the car door, stuck her body out to see [what happened], and saw her husband pinned there.
Panicking, she planned to drive the car forward, but perhaps because of of being too panicked, the car’s transmission gear lever was still in reverse, not forward.
When the gas pedal was finally pressed, it ended the lives of the two–Instead of moving forward, the car continued to back up.
The husband was crushed even tighter, while the wife’s head which she had stuck out of the car was also caught between the car door and the garage wall…
And during that time, their 6-year-old younger daughter was right in the car.
Very sad! Driving is not a right! It is a privilege! So be very very careful when you are driving!
