Its bizarre because apparently she flew out the “drivers window” and the driver of the MH(her husband) then ran over her.Very Bizzare I say.

Have some respect for a man who lost his wife of over 55 years in this accident.Calling it bizarre is a poor choice of words especially for someone who calls themselves a reporter.What exactly was bizarre about it?It’s an accident.I worked as a litigation adjuster for years and not ever would I have considered a motor vehicle accident bizarre, especially when it claims someone’s life.
