Good Grief: Postal Worker Killed by Own Vehicle

That's just sad... Not a nice way to go.

 

I thought a car rolling over a person wouldn't hurt that much. Lots of stories of cars rolling over hard things......even people's feet or legs, without much damage.

I guess the body/torso is different.

 

I'm completely depraved and evil...

I actually laughed at this line,

"Chaffin was pronounced dead where she lay."

 

Well, cherokees way over 3000lbs, with a weight distribution of 60% front 40% rear. Assuming left and right distro is the same, that would mean that 900lbs ran her over. And with the 215/75/15 standard sized tires that come on it, thats not a big patch either.

 

Were there any suspicious-looking dogs in the area?

 

Congrats man, you are the new CSI
I guess you own/owned that car.

This is what happens when you forget to put the car on break or gear.

My friend has chocked on a checker when he was playing alone - checkers I guess, while his sister with her friends where in the next room.

 

Well, when you're 69 years old...

 

thats sad, really, a shame. my thoughts go out to her.

 

Er, you mean choked?

 

Very sad. My prayers are with her family and friends. May she rest in peace.

I always say hello to my mailman when I meet him on the street. Always good to say thank you.

 

thats absolutley terrible

 

A hell of a way to go.. I laughed.. I cried.. and in the end I laughed again.

 

I don't have the stats but unfortunately, a surprising number of people die each year from being crushed by their own vehicles; much in the same manner as this poor mail lady.

 

I just pray that she didn't know what was coming and death was instant. That would be my fear to be aware and linger.

 

Not to mention a 69 y.o. women's bones aren't very hard. If it ran over her chest or pelvis you can bet it was crushed :\
