March 3, 2011 - San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies reported that a 42-year-old woman died this week after she was struck by a tow truck while her vehicle was being repossessed. The tow truck driver was attempting to repossess the woman's 2002 Buick. At around 1:10 a.m., the woman exited her mobile home and tried to persuade the driver not to take her vehicle. The driver denied her request and began to move her car from her driveway. He told investigators that he lost sight of the woman and assumed that she had cleared away from her car. As he attempted to leave with the car, the woman's husband rushed to him and told him his wife was trapped under the car. A Sheriff's Department spokesperson said the driver and the woman had finished talking to each other at the time of the accident. Neither the driver nor the husband could determine how she got under the car. The driver had to use a jack to get the car off the injured woman. She was transported to a local hospital where she died a couple hours later from her injuries. Investigators are still trying to determine how she ended up under the car.
