New Teen Driver Kills Mom While Backing Up

(http://javascript<b></b>:void(0))
MARLBORO, N.J. A rite of passage for parents and teenagers turned deadly in Monmouth County.

Authorities say a 16-year-old learning to parallel park accidentally hit the accelerator and struck and killed her mother yesterday.

It happened on a quiet street in Marlboro.

Authorities say the girl had a learner's permit. The mother had set up cones and was outside the vehicle trying to guide her daughter.

The 44-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.

I'm not one to post news stories like this, but this one really caught my eye. That poor girl will never be the same having to live with her guilt, even though it was an accident. Sad story for all involved.

That is really sad.

It is very sad,poor girl must feel so :( heartbroken

oh wow.... my heart breaks for that family

:crying:

God :(

God, that is horrible. Thar girl must be living with so much guilt. That's so sad. :(

Rest in peace, Ryta Deriso

How fast could she have been going?! I mean, yah she hit the gas by accident, but you only parking. Damn. Thats horrible.

That is sad. Not only did she kill her mom, she won't be able to drive probably either.

That so dreadful.Its what happens when very inexperienced young drivers are in a hurry to get their licence.

That's horrible.

How fast could she have been going?! I mean, yah she hit the gas by accident, but you only parking. Damn. Thats horrible.
My guess is that the mother was pinned against another car with a lot of force. When you slam the accelerator, a car can really take off. Such a shame. I wish the mother had stayed in the car.

Accidents like this can traumatize people.The young girl will be probably
not want to drive anymore or have thoughts about it all the time :(

ohno:

She might have hit her head on the pavement too.

A teenager here just did the same thing. He was helping his grandfather pull a tree stump out of the ground and accidentially backed up and ran over his grandpa. Killed him too.

I'd want to kill myself if it were me. :(

that is unbelievable. and just when i'm learning how to drive myself. i sincerely feel regretful for the girl. i definitely would have killed myself had i ever made a mistake like that killing my mom in the process. hearing things like that really makes me grateful my mom died naturally and expectedly, rather than by an accident or murder.

This is so sad. :(

That poor girl, I doubt she'll ever want to drive again.

Yeah, if I accidently did that I would be so sad I'd never wanna do anything every again :(
