CHELMSFORD, Mass. (AP) -- Police in Massachusetts say a mother has been struck by her own car and seriously injured after her child accidentally put the car into reverse while she was loading the vehicle.
Chelmsford Police Chief James Spinney says the 37-year-old woman, who authorities haven't identified, is expected to survive the Sunday morning incident.
Police say the woman's 9-year-old son shifted the car into reverse while she was standing at the open driver's side front door. They say the woman tried to dive for the brake pedal, but was pinned and then run over by the vehicle.
The vehicle continued down the driveway and came to a stop after striking a rock wall opposite the house. The child wasn't injured.

Having a hard time visualizing how this happened.

A 9-year-old should still be in a car seat. Not sure how you reach the gear shift from a car seat. Hmmm.

When I was a kid I saw a kid from our church reverse the car while his mom was standing behind the car. She died almost instantly, I remember my dad consoling the kids and everyone freaking out. Crazy vivid memory of mine. These things happen, its unfortunate

My son put a Lincoln Town Car in forward and knocked down my dad's porch. With his baby sisters in the back seat.
My mother-in-law is "special."

Don’t you have to press the brake to shift into R? How did he manage this?
