Never let your reach exceed your grasp.....also putting the vehicle in park when opening it door is a good idea.

Never open the car door like that. Never.

Driver carelessness notwithstanding, a lawsuit and a large settlement is coming.

“Man dies in ‘freak accident’ in McDonald’s drive thru in Grand Island”

Probably due to the SATURATED FAT in their meet, at least according to our ‘medical community’.

Eventually. fast food places may paint a yellow stripe next to the service window, with a sign

‘For driver safety, put Motor in NEUTRAL & STOP HERE>>
DO NOT DRIVE ANY CLOSER to the window unless requested by the Cashier!”

This may save some restaurants from liability lawsuits by
survivors of Over-Eager-Eaters!!
Coupons for a year’s worth of free Mac-Nuggets may not be enough.

That’s bad. Worst I ever did was try to cut the corner too quick and nicked the building.

‘We’re not sure if the vehicle lurched forward or what happened,“

Chief, see if there are any cameras that cover the delivery window .

I hope he didn’t suffer much.

That really is a freak accident.

There’s a joke about “short arm” in there somewhere.

This same thing happened to a childhood friend a few years back. He went home and died of internal bleeding.

I avoid drive up windows entirely unless I don’t have a choice.

Always put it in park and remove your right foot from the gas pedal. I could see a mistake like that happening. Sad.

“They **** you at the drive through!!!”

Seriously, though: Tragic. Makes one wonder how many drive through accidents - injuries or otherwise - really occur annually in the US due to failure to control the vehicle.

When it comes to opening the door in that situation most people automatically put the car in park. I’ve done it and seen it a million times.
