You always hear that sunbathing can be dangerous to your health, but this is pushing it. She was just a woman catching some rays while in California for her son’s wedding, all the way from Souix City, Iowa.
OXNARD, California (AP) — Two police officers patrolling a beach in an SUV on Monday ran over and killed a sunbather, authorities said.
The officers did not immediately realize they ran over the woman and continued driving, police Cmdr. Tom Chronister said in a statement.
The officers, who were not immediately identified, had stopped on a small berm of sand to watch a swimmer who they believed to be in distress. When they saw the swimmer was fine, they drove over the berm and apparently over the woman’s head, authorities said. [cnn]
