A WOMAN driver killed her husband and crushed herself to death while attempting to park her car. The accident happened as the recently-qualified driver tried to reverse her Lexus SUV into a space in an underground car park in Fenghua, China. The 41-year-old woman had only passed her driving test five weeks before and was practising reverse-parking, helped by her husband - who was guiding her into the tight spot. But instead of easing into the space, she backed in too quickly - pinning her spouse against a wall. After hearing his screams, tried to free him by accelerating, while she leaned out of her window. But she had forgotten to change out of reverse gear - and crushed him and her own head against the concrete partition. The alarm was raised by the couple's six-year-old daughter who was in the car at the time and witnessed the double-tragedy. But ambulance crew members declared the couple dead at the scene.
