Florida man killed after dog steps on gas pedal
 

mans best friend?? :helpme :Oh crap L-Pink you ok dogg??



We’ve all seen tragic headlines about a man being killed by his best friend. But this sad story out of the Sunshine State is truly bizarre: James Campbell died after his dog jumped into his van and landed on the vehicle’s accelerator.

The Associated Press reports that Campbell, 68, has just returned home with Iris Fortner, 56, who had backed up to the driveway of their Florida Panhandle home. Campbell got out and stepped behind the vehicle to open the gate, and Fortner opened the driver’s side door to see where he was. That's when her boxer bulldog reportedly jumped in, landing on the vehicle’s accelerator.

The Florida Highway Patrol said Fortner tried to stop the van, but Campbell was already trapped underneath it. He was pronounced dead at the scene by officials.

In separate but related news, a New Zealand rescue dog trainer who has been teaching dogs to “drive” cars captivated millions of viewers last month. In that case, the dogs were strapped into modified car sets and were trained to step on the accelerator and brake pedals when issued specific commands.

The car was in gear? Maybe the gf was in the market for a new bf. Dogs cant talk lol

maybe the dogs was the other man :1orglaugh wonder if she smells like peanut butter :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

who gets out of a car while it's still in gear?

I cant understand how this happened

Never opened the drivers door to get a better look behind you as you're backing up? Can't back up if it's not in gear.

fucking "dog":pimp

is the dog ok?

i think he's on his way to china

i cunt a4d a gas pedal... :(

Obviously an "Assault Dog", so..............................

BAN DOGS!

:winkwink:

What, a tragic death that didn't involve a firearm?
The story must be wrong.

he had got out and was stood behind it. something isn't right with the story.

Wow, really sounds like she is blaming the dog on this one... was probably an oopsie, but she is afraid of getting charges.

Read the article again... SHE was driving... HE got out to open the gate. SHE opened her door to see where HE was... the DOG mashed on the gas.

ME believes she opened the door to make sure he was inline as SHE smashed the gas... oopsie!

LOL :thumbsup

happened in england a while ago. a farmer left his tractor and the dog hopped down on to the pedal... nasty way to go!

fucking dog shit

Stupid bitch backs over husband with her car. Blames dog. Sounds about right.

Funny how womencan't use mirrors in vehicles to back up when they spend most of the day staring into the bloody things...

Florida...lol

My god the alimony I could have saved if I would have blamed more than just farts on my dog.

note to self...

buy a dog and then you can run over anyone you don't like :warning

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

thought she ran your ass over dogg not one shot fired :helpme :1orglaugh

you better cut off your stuff and grow some boobs :2 cents: :1orglaugh

Exactly!

Honestly, don't these two sentences sound the same ?? But one's more believable.

My dog ate my homework.
My dog ran over my husband.

Don't you have to put pressure on the brake pedal to move an automatic transmission out of drive? And if he got out with the van in gear wouldn't the van have crept forward from engine RPM?

.

Again... SHE WAS THE DRIVER!

Oh ???? never-mind

No wrries, if you read the replies, most of them thought the same as you... as did I. Then upon a second reading, I sort of "got it".
