An awful accident at the McDonalds on Flatbush Avenue in the
Flatlands section of Brooklyn claimed the life of a woman in her
60s.  Police say the woman was walking in front of the McDonalds
when an elderly driver backing up her Nissan Quest minivan
suddenly and accidentally hit the gas instead of the brakes.
When she did, she plowed into the victim and pinned her beneath
the car.  The victim was pronounced dead at the scene and there
was little anyone could do. The driver of the minivan was not
hurt and was allowed to head home with her car, which still had
shattered glass across the bumper.   Investigators said the
incident seems to be a tragic accident and no charges are
expected to be filed.
