Student (driver) runs over driver's ed teacher

STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. (AP) -- A driver's education instructor was run over by one of her students and pinned beneath the car for 15 minutes, officials said.

Two cars driven by students collided on the DeKalb County Schools driver's education lot, then one of the students backed into Patricia Erwin, running her over.

She was hospitalized Friday in stable condition and underwent surgery for multiple broken bones.

Erwin, 64, who has taught driving for 20 years, was working with the students on a drill that included pulling forward and backing up at slow speeds, said Kal Kelliher, the district's driver's education coordinator.

2. I fought the urge to run over the instructor during driver's ed.
he was a sexist jerk and the urge was mighty powerful

alas...scandal got him in the end.

6. She must have neglected the part about watching where you
are driving. Or, they didn't pay attention to that part.

I hope she will be alright.
