Ardennes1944

Just saw this story on my yahoo account. Feel so sorry for the daughter. what a tragic thing to happen

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/mum-killed-learner-driver-daughter-103406252.html

A woman has died after her 17-year-old learner driver daughter accidentally reversed a car into her.

Sue Duke, 41, was helping her daughter Lauren back into a parking space of the social club where she worked in Cuxton, Kent, when she was crushed against another vehicle.

She suffered serious head injuries after being hit by the Ford Ka on Monday.

The mother of three was airlifted to a London hospital where she died on Wednesday night with her family around her.

One witness, who declined to be named, told Kent Online: "At first we didn't realise Sue had been hit, we just saw the damage to the car. But then we saw Sue lying on the ground.

"She had been hit on the head, there was blood everywhere. It was catastrophic. We just tried to help her and comfort her before an ambulance got there.

"The girl was hysterical, she was screaming and crying. It was so awful. We tried to calm her down but she was so upset."

Amazing how people just can't grasp the mood of a thread at all sometimes.

You just wait, someone will thank you for that piece of hysterical comedy.

Darwin Award?

But does not really qualify sure it doesn't.

Poor girl will be scarred for life, probably will never get behind the wheel of a car again

There's times for humour, and this isn't it.

Doesnt matter in this case as the mother was crushed between another surface. Could be 5mph but once the damage is done it's done.

Pretty sad. My condolences to the family.

This girl is never going to be right. Years of therapy in her future =/

Thats neither big , clever or at all funny . A time and a place for everything and maybe you should learn when .
A poor young girl of 17 must be deeply traumatised and may never ever be able to forgive herself .God love them all .

She'll never be able to look at her family the same again. Can you imagine facing your father after something like this, the weight of guilt. You wouldn't be able to get support from those you usually rely on for it, and you couldn't expect it of them. Tragic. Poor girl.

Oh God, that poor girl

I wasn't going to, but I decided to log in and thank it.

Sure it was crass, tasteless and not exactly hilarious but this is AH and I'm not a fan of sanctimonious high-horse riding in here.

I'm still trying to figure out how she got head injuries and how the daughter didn't realise she'd hit her (like did she not call out or something?)..

But nonetheless, it's a very sad situation.

Curious how this actually happened. Terrible sad tough.

Failure to heed basic safety measures around vehicles, to put it bluntly.

I was giving a class on such a subject over the weekend, actually. Never stand between a running vehicle and another object, and never stand in proximity of and directly in front of, or behind, a running vehicle. And that's with drivers who know what they're doing. People accidently let clutches slip, some vehicles can neutral steer... and all that you do is provide some cushioning to reduce the damage done to the vehicle when it strikes something hard.
