Massachusetts girl dies after dad drives into leaf pile where she was hiding
November 5, 2004 1SHORT1105
METHUEN, MASS. -- A 10-year-old girl was killed when her father parked his truck in a pile of leaves in which she and a friend were hiding, the family said. The other girl was seriously injured.

Family members said 36-year-old construction worker James Gravel did not know he had run over the girls until he got out and heard daughter Natalie calling him.

"She said, 'Daddy, I can't breathe,' " said Gravel's sister, Jennifer Gravel.

Natalie died at a hospital of head and chest injuries. Eight-year-old Meredith Reid was in critical condition Thursday.

Police said no charges are planned.

Gravel's two other children, ages 11 and 7, were in the truck at the time.

Oh now people, look at this on the brighter side. He could have gotten out of the car and laughed at the two kids and said: Shit, i need to get my camera!"

"Daddy, I can't breathe "

"No shit sweetheart, I just ran over your chest with my truck."

I don't get why the guy's parking in a pile of leaves big enough to hide two young children either. Maybe the same primal instinct that make you want to pop every last bubble on bubble plastic. I just thought it was terribly sad the guy accidentally ran over his own daughter.

Maybe it wasn't a pile, as much as it was a light blanket of camoflauge. Oh yeah, and the father was plastered. I could see that happening.
