It was initially a day like every other for the Australian family.
Mum and kids got into their car in the driveway of their home in Melbourne to go shopping.
The 32-year-old mum hit a water meter as she reversed, and got out of the car to investigate.
As she did so, the car rolled backwards onto her.
Her seven-year-old son who was in the car at the time ran inside to call his father. Another child, a four-year-old, was also in the car at the time.
Sadly, their mum died at the scene.
The
Herald Sun reports that neither child was injured - the investigating officer said it was a tragic accident:
"It’s an accident and a bad day for everyone involved. No one would have thought this was the way today was going to end. Sometimes it’s just not fair.”
