A wheelchair-bound Riverside man was struck and killed Tuesday when his wife accidentally backed into him while trying to reposition his van in their driveway, officials said.
The fatality occurred at about 9:50 a.m. in the 31000 block of Belvedere Drive, near Floral Avenue, just east of the UC Riverside campus, according to the Riverside Police Department.
Sgt. Emilio Angulo said the victim, whose identity was not immediately released, was sitting in his wheelchair in front of his residence when his wife, identified only as a 66-year-old woman, attempted to move his Dodge van to a spot outside of the driveway. "The van is specifically equipped with hand controls designed for disabled personnel to operate while seated in a wheelchair,'' Angulo said."She drove the van without any seating apparatus, as she stood in the driver's compartment.''
