Woman And Husband Die In Horrific Parking Accident In China

The simple act of parking a car went horribly awry in China last week, resulting in an accident that killed the driver and her husband and left their 6-year-old daughter orphaned, according to news reports. P

The Qianjiang Evening News, as recounted by the Global Post, reported that a 41-year-old driver who had recently obtained her license was practicing backing up her Lexus RX270 in an underground garage in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province on June 18. P

As her husband directed her from behind, she accidentally backed up too far and pinned him against the garage wall, the newspaper reported. Things got worse after that — when she heard his screams, she accelerated to try and go forward, but did not realize she was still in reverse and backed up further, killing him instantly. P

While doing that, the woman had her head out her window. When she backed up, she got her head stuck between the car and a wall beside the parking space. She later died at a hospital of her injuries, the newspaper reported.P

The worst part? The couple's 6-year-old daughter was in the car at the time, and she witnessed the entire thing. P

Unfathomably horrible. There are no words for this. P

wow...I thought you are supposed to practice and do all that crap they are doing BEFORE you get a license. I wonder how that women got her license in the first place and imagine a couple hundred million more with skills just like her driving around in China everyday.

Poor child. She's old enough to know what happened. Will be traumatized for life.

Real life always trumps fiction. So many questions about this that will never be answered.

very sad double darwin award winners.

I saw the pics of the car with the bodies still there, pretty sad stuff.

Really gets you thinking people under estimate the powers that a car has (even with a tiny 4 cyl). When you mistakenly step on the gas for the brake, and do so with the same force you step on the brake pedal, the car really goes.

Darwin award doesn't apply. They've already procreated.

Warning: NOT SAFE FOR WORK. DO NOT VIEW IF YOU FEEL UNEASY ABOUT SEEING A DEAD, BLOODY BODY.

Here's an actual picture of the aftermath. Obviously I'm not going to inline it, you'll have to click the link to see it -

That's just so messed up. Looks like he was pinned from the side, not directly rear. They say she died later? She looks pretty dead there and they went ahead and took pictures while she was still alive and critical?

Looks like Final Destination 6.
