Police have confirmed that a driving instructor in the Polish city of Rybnik died after he was run over by a 68-year-old woman taking her driving test on Monday, TVP Info reported.
The 35-year-old instructor reportedly died on the scene from his injuries.
According to a statement from police, the woman was behind the wheel was being tested on a series of maneuvers in the center's maneuver square.
Police speculate that at the time of the incident, the slain instructor was actually testing another candidate, but was hit by the woman's car, which was likely being driven on a parallel track.
"A 68-year-old woman, in circumstances which are unknown at the present time, hit the examiner, who unfortunately as a result of his injuries died at the scene," he said. "When we spoke to the woman she was in a state of shock, and because of that, speaking to her would be quite difficult."
However, TVP Info released a video briefly showing the vehicle as it was being loaded on a truck and hauled away.
The front bumper and license plate of the car are visibly damaged and hanging off the vehicle, likely indicating the point of impact.
The 68-year-old driver could potentially face unintentional vehicular manslaughter charges, though nothing has reportedly been laid so far.
