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

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

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!!

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

I hope he didn’t suffer much.
That really is a freak accident.

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

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.
