NEW YORK (AP) - A Queens woman was killed over the weekend when her teenage grandson accidentally backed over her while preparing to take his relatives to church.
Police say 75-year-old Chandravti Lakhan died Sunday morning after she stepped into the path of her 17-year-old grandson’s Toyota Sequoia as he was reversing to make it easier for her to get in.
Officers arrived to the scene to find Lakhan unconscious and suffering from body trauma following the collision.
She was rushed from the family’s Floral Park home to Long Island Jewish Medical Center, where she was later pronounced dead.
Lakhan’s husband was visibly distraught at the scene while being consoled by family members.
Neighbors described Lakhan as “extremely friendly” and expressed remorse for her husband and grandson.
