A woman has died after her car, with two young children inside, rolled back onto her in the driveway of a home in Melbourne this afternoon.

The tragic accident occurred out the front of a house in Craigieburn just after 2.30pm.

Police say it’s understood a 32-year-old woman was reversing out of the driveway when she is believed to have struck a water meter and got out to investigate.

During this time, the car rolled backwards onto her and she died at the scene.

Victoria police said two young children, aged seven-years-old and four-years-old, were in the car at the time, however they escaped unharmed.

The 7-year-old boy got out of the car and ran inside and rang his dad.

Investigations into the crash are ongoing.

RIP. Our thoughts are with the children and extended family.

  • A little mistake cost a Mum her life. My sympathy to her family, relatives and close friends.
    The children, especially the one who climbed out of the car will probably have nightmares for a long time. I hope they all get as much counselling for as long as they need it and are not afraid to ask for more at a later date if they need more. Their relatives may need some too. I hope thewir friends realise that the family will need support for a long time, at least while they go through the initial grieving phase which can take a whole year, not just rally around for a few weeks then forget about them. From personal experience awhile later is when you need your friends even more as you feel as though you are suddenly forgotten.
