A trag­ic ac­ci­dent at Gulf City Mall has claimed the life of a man who was try­ing to help a woman park her car.

Eye­wit­ness­es say the man was di­rect­ing the woman in­to a park­ing spot when she ac­ci­den­tal­ly pressed the ac­cel­er­a­tor in­stead of the brakes, hit­ting him and trap­ping him un­der the ve­hi­cle.

They rushed to help, lift­ing the car to pull him out, and work­ers from the near­by phar­ma­cy per­formed CPR, keep­ing him alive as they wait­ed for the am­bu­lance.
