Per a news report from KION, A woman, and her family, visiting from China, stopped along the highway at JP Burns SP on Sunday afternoon. The husband and daughter ran across the highway to the SP. When the car began to roll, the woman ran back to it to try and stop it, but fell and was run over by the rental vehicle. She was declared dead at the scene.
Way to sad. I feel for the family.
That really is too awful for words, I’m so sorry for all of them, most expecially the woman who lost her life. The rest of their time alive will be hard enough on the living. Tragic. I half wonder if Highway 1 doesn’t need signs like: ALERT!! You are in an unearthly experience here. It is rarified air. Possibly you may feel light-headed or disoriented. Please pay careful attention on roadways and near edges, making sure you are safe before feasting.
This is a sad story.
