- A man was crushed by his own car in a McDonald’s car in Vancouver, Canada.
- Anthony Eyles died when he opened the car door to retrieve a fallen object and the car rolled forward toward the building.
- Local police called it a “heartbreaking” and “strange accident,” CTV News reported.
In what police called a “strange accident,” a Canadian man was crushed by his own car in a McDonald’s vehicle when he reached the tide of the vehicle to retrieve a fallen object.
Tony Eyles was stuck between the car door and the frame of the vehicle when he got out of the car without leaving it in the park and the vehicle rolled into the building.
Vancouver police said they tried to reactivate Eyles at the scene, but were unsuccessful. He was 42 years old.
“This is an absolutely heartbreaking scenario. Our deepest condolences go out to this man’s family and friends,” police officer Tania Visintin said, according to the Huffington Post.
Visintin told 680news that most of the fatal traffic accidents police hear involve a second vehicle.
“So the fact that there was no other vehicle involved … This seems like a strange accident,” Visintin said.
Eyles is survived by his wife and two children. His brother-in-law, Neal Pender, told CTV News that he was “just the perfect guy.”
“He was just the most loving father and the most beloved husband,” Pender said. “It’s understandable that kids don’t fully understand it. We’ve just tried to surround them with as much family as we can.”
Two GoFundMe who began supporting the family have raised more than $ 100,000 CAD collectively.
