Florida man killed after dog steps on gas pedal | The Sideshow - Yahoo! News

We’ve all seen tragic headlines about a man being killed by his best friend. But this sad story out of the Sunshine State is truly bizarre: James Campbell died after his dog jumped into his van and landed on the vehicle’s accelerator.

Just a thought. The dog jumped in put the van in reverse and released the brake before stomping on the gas pedal. Wonder how much insurance the old guy had?
