A 78-year-old Port St. Lucie woman died June 28 after being knocked down in a residential driveway by a parked SUV.
The incident happened 10:47 a.m. June 28 in the 100 block of SE El Sito Court in Port St. Lucie.
The woman was standing outside a 2016 Lincoln MKX SUV, between the open driver’s door and the left side of the vehicle, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. When the woman’s son, 59, started the vehicle from where he was sitting in the right front seat, the vehicle rolled backward. The woman was knocked to the ground by the open driver’s door.
The woman was taken to HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital in Fort Pierce, where she was pronounced dead at 11:19 a.m.
The son started the engine by reaching over the center consol with his left hand to depress the brake pedal and press the start button with his right hand. It is unknown why the car rolled backwards.
The traffic homicide investigation is continuing.
