A Farmington Hills man was killed Saturday morning after he was hit by his own car. The man got out of the car to help his pregnant wife after she fell getting into the couple's mini van.

Police say the man, his pregnant wife and a 2-year-old child were at the Farmington Library to return books when the accident happened.

They say the woman dropped the books off in the night depository slot in front of the library and was headed back to the car, when she fell. The husband rushed to help her, forgot to put the van into park, and both were hit by the van. The man died at the scene.

A witness entered the van, put the transmission into park and shut off the engine.

Farmington Public Safety Director Chuck Nebus says, "He braced himself against the front of the vehicle in a desperate attempt to keep the back passenger side wheel from rolling over his wife. He died trying to protect his wife and unborn child."

The man's wife is in stable but serious condition.

The child in the back seat was not injured.

That would suck.

Wife might have fallen right in front of one of the rear wheels, and the car might have been parked facing downhill and partially into a turn...

Eh,... are you saying that the unborn child should of died also because it was the offspring of this "dumbass" that forgot to put the car in park?

After seeing his pregnant wife fall, he must of just panicked and rushed out of the car to help her as an instinct without thinking about putting the car in park.

I could see a lot of people doing this.
