Driver ‘seriously injured’ after being run over three times by own car
Old town of St Gallen, Switzerland
A woman in Switzerland was seriously injured after she got out of her car with the engine still on only for it to run her over three times, police said on Friday.

The 45-year-old had stepped out of her car in a residential area in St Gallen in northeastern Switzerland, probably in order to get something out of the boot, regional police said, according to the Swiss news agency ATS.

But then the car, which was on a slight slope, began rolling backwards.

The woman had attempted in vain to stop the vehicle, before falling to the ground and was run over a first time.

The car had then rammed into another vehicle and rebounded back in the opposite direction, running over the woman a second time, police said.

But the car then hit a sidewalk, sending it back towards the woman and running her over a third time, before finally hitting a wooden barrier and coming to a halt.

The woman was sent to hospital in a serious condition.

I'm skeptical that that is widespread based on footage I've seen of Chinese highways. No American would ever pass that reverse section though.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

Insane.

Our city ended up closing the drive through in our Carbucks after the workers refused to service it. It was a block away from a MAJOR intersection and required an off-duty cop for traffic at peak hours. Same thing as the video: you could just park and go in and out.

Is this the worst it's ever been for pedestrians in America fatality wise? I've looked up some info and it says it's a 40 year high but I don't know if that takes into account per capita stuff by year either.

American highways in general were an utter bloodbath until mandatory seatbelt laws went into force. The earliest figures I can find separating pedestrian from driver / passenger fatalities is 1975, with 7516. Ped deaths peaked in 1980 with 8070 deaths, went down for a long time, and started going up again in 2013.

I am curious if we have any data on how often people walk in that same period. Can't have pedestrian deaths if we don't have pedestrians.
