Man Run Over By “Mans Best Friend”

A Florida man has died after a dog jumped into a van and pushed the accelerator, causing the vehicle to strike the man as he opened a gate outside of his home. The strange incident began as James Campbell and Iris Fortner, 68, returned to their home while Fortner, who was driving, backed a 1995 Chevy van into their property, Campbell got out of the passenger's side of the vehicle to open a metal gate outside their home As Fortner opened the driver's side door to see where Campbell was standing, her large boxer came running toward the van and jumped in, pressing the accelerator. Before Fortner could stop the vehicle, it struck and ran over Campbell, trapping him under it.
