A man is recovering after being run over by his wife --
twice.
Earthmoving contractor Terry Telford, 69, was hit yesterday
morning by his wife Sandy as she backed their 4WD down their
gravel driveway, near Opoutama, 45km east of Wairoa, The
Dominion Post reported.
Lowe Corporation rescue helicopter marketing manager Louise
Harvey said it appeared Mrs Telford, did not realise what had
happened and then drove forward, running over her husband
again.
He suffered moderate head, chest and back injuries and was
airlifted to Hawke's Bay Hospital where he was reported to be
in a stable conditon last night.
Senior Sergeant Tony Bates, of Wairoa police, said Mrs
Telford was "distraught".
"We are treating it as an accident."
