Man Accidentally Drives Over Wife On The Beach


A woman was pinned under a car late Monday morning in Daytona Beach Shores and the driver was her husband. Lena Patitucci was trying to help her husband when he backed over her.

Panicked beachgoers watched in horror as 57-year-old Lena Patitucci was pinned underneath the family car.

"I saw lady yell, 'Stop! Stop!' and he couldn't hear her. She went right under the car," said 9-year-old Elizabeth Gunter.

Eyewitnesses rushed to try and help, but they couldn't get the car to budge.

"He laid down to be with her. It was just too heavy to lift," said eyewitness Greg Gunter.

"Her husband was upset, as you can imagine, having just backed over his wife," Gunter said.
