Man Mistakenly Hits Gas, Kills Wife and Mother in Law in Garage

A Houston man accidentally put his foot on the gas instead of the brake as he pulled into his driveway, fatally pinning his wife and mother-in-law to the rear garage wall.
Police say the man's 6-year-old nephew also was seriously injured in the 10 a.m. Friday accident. He was hospitalized for treatment of internal injuries and was in undetermined condition
The women who were killed, ages 66 and 41, had been cooking a meal in the two-car garage when the driver returned from a driver's license office with his father-in-law, a passenger in the car.
Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said the driver, a recent immigrant from Vietnam, confused the brake and accelerator pedals.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Man, that guy must feel horrible. I would probably kill myself if I was in his position.
On a side note, why is your biography written in the 3rd person?

Make me feel like royalty. Actually, it is a rather commen practice to use the third person when relating an authors biography.

One vet told me we could have won the Viet Nam war by just giving them all cars.

I can't help but wonder what the purpose and result was regarding the trip to the driver's license office.

Is this guy related to that girl that was driving the 'wienermobile' in Wisconsin?

hmmm, as far as I'm aware, the gas pedal is on the right and the brake pedal is on the left for EVERY CAR IN THE WORLD! You move to a different country and suddenly you can't remember?!? I think there may be other motives...

One does wonder at the convenience of wiping out your mother in law and your wife with a single blow.
