Wife accidentally backs over husband, kills him

A 79-year-old man died Thursday after his wife accidentally ran over him in her car, Bloomington Police Department Lt. Janelle Benedict said, reading from a police report.\nPolice received a call at 1:45 p.m. Thursday from Rama Alminauskas, 75, for assistance at 604 E. Moss Creek Drive. \nAfter Rama and her husband, Antanas Alminauskas, returned from grocery shopping, they decided to back the car into the driveway to make it easier to get the groceries out of the car, Benedict said.\nAntanas got out of the car to guide Rama as she was backing up the car, Rama told police. She said she saw him waving her to back up, but the next time she looked back, Antanas wasn't there. She felt the car stop and then she heard Antanas' voice outside of the car.\nWhen Rama got out of the car, she saw her husband lying underneath the car, and she called 911, Benedict said, reading from the police report. \nBloomington Hospital ambulances and Bloomington Fire Department arrived before BPD officers and had already lifted the car and pulled the man out from underneath the car by the time police arrived.\nAntanas was then transported to Bloomington Hospital and later died of internal injuries after being flown to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, Benedict said.
