From the Charlotte Observer today: This is so sad... next time you see your postman (or postwoman), make sure you tell them how much you appreciate their work to deliver your mail.
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.
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.
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.
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 :\
