Kolina Hocevar period 5 woman kills 3 people while backing out

A 79-year-old Florida woman backed over seven pedestrians Sunday morning while backing out of a handicapped space in a church parking lot, killing three people, police say. Doreen Landstra was backing out of a space in the parking lot of a 55-and-older mobile home community in East Bradenton when she lost control of her SUV, striking the pedestrians and crashing over a curb before coming to rest partially submerged in a creek. According to Bueno, three Bradenton residents -- Johanna Dijkhoff, 80, Wilhemina Paul, 70 and Margaret Vanderlaan, 72 -- died as a result of their injuries. Four others sustained serious injuries and were taken to an area hospital. One has since been released, Bueno said.

It is really tragic that something like this happened. What a terrible way for a 79 year-old lady to finish out her last years, with vehicular manslaughter. It's tragic for everyone involved: the victims, their loved ones, the driver and those who witnessed such a horrible accident.
