JACINTO CITY, TEXAS (BNO NEWS) -- A Texas mother was killed on Wednesday evening when her 12-year-old daughter accidentally ran over her, local media reported on Thursday.

The incident occurred on Wednesday evening at around 7 p.m. local time in Jacinto City, Texas, which is part of the Houston metropolitan area in Harris County.

According to Jacinto City Police chief Joe Ayala, the unnamed mother visited a house for sale with her children and, after parking her Chevrolet Suburban at the driveway, she told her 12-year-old daughter to get into the driver's seat and pull in a little closer, the Houston Chronicle reported.

However, after instructing her daughter to brake, the 12-year-old accidentally stepped on the gas instead and ran over her mother. The woman dropped to the pavement and was ran over by one of the vehicle's rear wheels and she died at the scene of the accident.

Authorities opened an investigation into the accident, but charges are not expected.

Stupid. Is it really such a big problem to let your young children become young adults before you let them drive trucks. The mother is dead, the family destroyed and the 12 year old Girl **Snip!** up forever. Risk Vs Value of Task........ I feel sorry for the Girl. She has a lifetime of constant regret, that is if it does not drive her to take her own life. Think parents, think! What we forget, and I see it so much in Thailand, with 4 year olds at full time school then doing an extra 2 hours of tuition a day is that children just need time to be children. The burdens of adulthood and the responsibility and stress that brings await all children, why rush it. Kids should not be driving trucks.
