Heartbreak and tragedy struck a family in San Antonio as a simple moving day turned into a nightmare. A mother, in an act of pure accident, ran over her own daughter with a U-Haul truck, resulting in a devastating loss.
It was Friday evening when the family was in the midst of moving into their new home on Remount Drive. The excitement of a fresh start quickly turned to sorrow as a routine task took a deadly turn.
As the mother, operating the U-Haul, attempted to reposition the vehicle for unloading, her 25-year-old daughter stood behind the truck, unknowingly stepping into harm’s way. A simple misunderstanding of gears and pedals led to a tragic consequence.
The heart-wrenching mistake of putting the truck in reverse instead of drive, followed by an accidental acceleration instead of applying the brake, resulted in the ultimate price paid by the daughter. Despite immediate medical attention, the young woman could not be saved.
Authorities have ruled the incident as a tragic accident, with no criminal charges to be filed. The family now left to grieve over a loss that came in the most unforeseen and heartbreaking circumstances.
