We had a lot of these in the Police, one I remember was the old lady didn't have a seat belt on, was just moving car in driveway, door was open, hit the gas too hard, fell out the car and ran herself over. Not sure how it was physically possible but she did it.
Unfortunately there are a lot of tragic accidents that occur on a far too regular basis. Plenty were preventable but many were just bad luck, wrong place, wrong time.
Some of the hardest ones are when a parent reverses over and kills their child.
Thankfully cars are getting much smarter these days. I think I read somewhere if you took all cars older than 5 years off the road the road toll would drop dramatically.

@Machpants Bugger, kids ok? We used to play in the car all the time as kids, pretty sure my folks took the keys with them though.

@chimoaus in many older cars, you can still take out of park and/or release the handbrake...I know cos my brother did it in my dads old work ute and it rolled forward about 10m into a tree haha
Yup that's what my kid did in my people mover, I didn't have the handbrake on. He stuck it in neutral and it rolled forward about 5m on a light slope into our other car.

@Machpants hah I did similar when a kid, decided to see if a garage door could fit in the civic boot while the olds were at work.
It didn't.
