re: Child puts car in reverse, accidentally runs over mother

Back in the late seventies, my wife had the car running and stuffed for a trip to Nola from Bama. Had a 3 and a 5 yr old in the car and was to pick me up at work. 3 yr Old was in a car seat, 5 yr old strapped in the seat belt in the back seat. She remembered something she needed to get in the house after starting the car. Left it in park without EB applied. Came out to find the 5 yr old climbed in the front seat, threw it in Drive and headed down the back yard slope and slid into a small drainage ditch ending up on its side. She was able to get the 5 yr old to turn it off. 2 hours later and good work from the wrecker driver and we were on our way to Nola with just a few scratches here and there,
