Former Indiana Congressman, Lee Hamilton’s wife, was killed in 2012 when her own car ran her over. Horrible.
They will probably create an episode of something like a transporter failure, they can CGI him in.
What a shame, to have a promising young life ended by a stupid accident like this. RIP.
Maybe they could work it into the script and have his
character crushed by a rolling transporter...
Just saying, why let a good character just disappear?

So this fellow was 27 years old. Joined other unlucky entertainers.
I was on the set of Fright Night with the guy.
Damn nice dude cause’ usually stars they’re pricks to the set crew and producers but he wasn’t (unlike Dicrapio). Farrell and Yelchin were like brothers on the set.
Very sad. I liked him.
He was great in Odd Thomas.
So sad.
RIP.
I think I see a possible explanation...
Dreadful, poor guy. RIP.
*ping of interest*
I think they'll have to recast. They can't kill off the character of Chekov just because this guy died unexpectedly.

The vehicle he owned is a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I own the same vehicle, and can understand how this happened. The 2014 & 2015 models have a very strange setup with the gearshift. You cannot shift smoothly between gears like you can with most cars. You have to sort of “bump” your way through each gear until you get it into park. If you don’t do it just right, the shifter can bounce back from “Park” into “Reverse” without the driver realizing it. I’ve been driving for over 40 years, but have had a couple of instances where this happened to me. I took my foot off of the brake, and had the car start rolling backwards because it bounced back into reverse. (You would have to drive one of these vehicles yourself to appreciate how easily this could happen.) I recently received a Recall notice in the mail from Chrysler that basically said they were aware of the problem, and hoped to have a fix ready by the end of the year. It went on to say that, until then, ‘make real sure the car is in the proper gear before exiting the vehicle.”
