Freak accident involving 350Z in my town
http://www.gwdtoday.com/default.asp?...dtoday&he=.com
A girl was run over by her own Z. The article doesn't state it but she later died from a crushed ribcage, two punctured ribs, and an ruptured spleen. It is believed that she parked on an incline with the car in neutral and the parking brake not set.

Well not to be insensitive but anyone who parks their car in neutral on a hill without a parking brake.... and a Z nonetheless! Make way for the 'woman driver' comments.

The car drug her about 50 feet from her driveway. Her husband was out of town and I don't think they knew what to do with the car, so they had it towed.

What I want to know is how the **** did she get trapped under the car. The driveways on Karlie Ct aren't that inclined and she would have had to lay down in its path to fit under there ...

Wow..that is a very sad story...I wonder if she tried to brace herself against the car to prevent it from rolling and just got sucked under...That must have been extremely painful...God Bless

They probably had it towed to a shop to have it investigated to see if it was a mechanical failure vs. driver failure that caused the roll. If it was in gear with the e-brake set and rolled, expect nissan to get sued. I highly doubt it was the cars fault though.
