MANILA, Philippines -- A young woman died after she was accidentally run over by her own SUV Thursday morning in Cogeo, Antipolo City, police said.
Rizal provincial police director Superintendent Ireneo Dordas said initial investigations showed that Ma. Lourdes Pagauitan, 19, might have forgotten to engage the handbrake of her Mitsubishi Pajero before alighting to prevent it from rolling downwards.
Bystanders who witnessed the incident attempted to help the girl and called the police who immediately arrived at the scene.
Dordas said police retrieved Pagauitan’s body from under the vehicle and took her to a hospital where she was declared dead on arrival.
