On July 1, 2018, a Utah storyline read “Husband runs over wife, kills her in what police call a terrible accident”. Salt Lake City’s CBS affiliate (KUTV-2) went on to report:
“Investigators said the woman, in her 90's, got out of the family car to open the garage and her husband hit the car's gas pedal instead of the brake pedal and ran over his wife and then crashed into the home. Police believe the couple just returned from church.”
Last September in Havertown, Pennsylvania, an 89-year-old man ran over his wife and daughter in the driveway of their home. The incident took place at around 9:30 a.m. when the driver mistook the gas pedal for the brake pedal and proceeded to back into and over his wife and daughter. The man’s 62-year-old daughter was airlifted to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital with head and chest injuries. His wife was taken to the same hospital with serious injuries to her lower torso.
