A 17-YEAR-OLD learner driver daughter in the United Kingdom accidentally reversed a car into her mother, eventually killing her.

Sky News reported Sue Duke, 41, was helping her daughter Lauren back into a parking space of the social club where she worked. The mother was crushed against another vehicle.

One witness, who declined to be named, told Kent Online: 'At first we didn't realise Sue had been hit, we just saw the damage to the car. But then we saw Sue lying on the ground.'

'She had been hit on the head, there was blood everywhere. It was catastrophic. We just tried to help her and comfort her before an ambulance got there.'

'The girl was hysterical, she was screaming and crying. It was so awful. We tried to calm her down but she was so upset.' She suffered serious head injuries after being hit by the Ford Ka.

The mother of three was airlifted to a London hospital where she died with her family around her. -- THE STAR/ANN
