slinch Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 A WOMAN driver killed her husband and crushed herself to death while attempting to park her car. The accident happened as the recently-qualified driver tried to reverse her Lexus SUV into a space in an underground car park in Fenghua, China. The 41-year-old woman had only passed her driving test five weeks before and was practising reverse-parking, helped by her husband - who was guiding her into the tight spot. But instead of easing into the space, she backed in too quickly - pinning her spouse against a wall. After hearing his screams, tried to free him by accelerating, while she leaned out of her window. But she had forgotten to change out of reverse gear - and crushed him and her own head against the concrete partition. The alarm was raised by the couple's six-year-old daughter who was in the car at the time and witnessed the double-tragedy. But ambulance crew members declared the couple dead at the scene.

slinch Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 That has to win this years Darwin awards Haha man I read this news on a local forum and the very first reply was this: Ze mamo zmagovalca darwinovih nagrad za letos kot kaze Which roughly translates to "It seems we already have a winner for this year's Dawin awards" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusted_By_Space Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I used to give drivers exams at the dmv, and i had this Chinese couple who just could not pass the drivers test, the first few times i took the lady out is honestly the only time i thought i was gonna die on a road test. It was so bad i threatened to quit on the spot. Did end up with a week off for "trauma", so it wasnt a total loss. imaxcowboyx and mattalica17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avery Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 i'm impressed there hasn't been any asian woman driver jokes yet. (i'm an asian woman. who is actually a really good driver. 99% of the time...) but ya, that has got to be awful for the kid. just awful.

monsterrod Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 That poor kid. Holy shit. I can't imagine what it must be like to watch your parents die in such a gruesome manner before your eyes. I want to make a joke about Asian woman drivers, but the fact that their kid was their to witness this is just too heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Really sad story. I laugh at people's stupidity (as well as my own) when they could walk away safely and learn a lesson. Can't laugh at this. There are also bad drivers of all walks of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusted_By_Space Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I guess shit must be good in china, wasnt she pushing a lexus suv? Seems like a logical choice for a "beginners ride." I do feel bad for the little one though, having to carry that around for life has got to be pretty heavy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 This story to a lesser extend reminds me of the outside mall by my house, it is full of luxury SUVs being smashed trying to parallel park. Read the article and it is hard to believe that this is real at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David The Gnome Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 If teenage Eric made these jokes, you'd all be calling for his head. Not before the comments he made. While this is a terrible turn of events for that family; no one on this board has any ties, direct or indirect with the incident at all. With that said, I definitely feel for the little girl. Can't imagine seeing something like that happen to family before my eyes. edit: It took me 40 minutes but I finally got the joke, bistro.

I was just telling my roommate about this story and mentioned how surprised I was there were no asian woman driver jokes yet (I'm also an asian woman). Really sad about their kid...

parkinglot Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 how fucked is that kids life going to be. he/she(forget) was 6, so possibly old enough to realize the absolute stupidity that caused the accident. would you be mad at the mother? honestly, i have no idea how i would feel since it was pure stupidity that caused both deaths.
