DAVENPORT, N.Y. — An empty SVU rolled down a driveway, crossed the road and struck an 83-year-old woman gardening in her upstate New York front yard, killing her.
State police say the freak accident happened at around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at Mountain View Trailer Park in Davenport.
Abbie Heller was gardening in her front yard with her back to the road when she was struck by a Ford Expedition that rolled backward from a parked position.
Davenport is about 55 miles southwest of Albany near the Catskill Mountains.
