Probably the driver was on their phone. Distracted driving is a huge problem right now.
I seem to recall a similar incident along the coast a few years back. In it, another government vehicle ran over a man’s head causing severe injuries. I believe he died weeks or months later in a hospital. There should be a law against any vehicles larger than a golf cart being used for routine beach patrol.
Horrible for all. I believe 4 wheelers should be the vehicle used for beach patrol.
I noticed that she was a Nurse Practictioner. She will be missed not only by her family but her patients also
Story says she was sitting in a chair and run over to the point that they had to lift the car off her. Indicates a higher than appropriate speed and a distracted driver. WTF? Several have mentioned that full size pickups are not appropriate beach patrol vehicles (in fact no driver enclosed vehicle is appropriate for patrolling areas with high density of people, like beaches). A gator or other side by side should have been their ride.
No excuses.
