Florida man James Campbell dies after his dog jumps into his van and hits the accelerator pedal

James Campbell, a 68-year-old Florida man, was killed after his dog jumped into his van and landed on the vehicle’s accelerator on Monday (January 14, 2013). The strange incident began when he and his wife Iris Fortner, 56, returned to their home in Cantonment, Fla., on the Florida Panhandle. Campbell got out and stepped behind the vehicle to open the gate so that his wife, Mrs Fortner could back their 1995 Chevy van into their property. Mrs Fortner wanted to ensure her husband was not standing in her way, so she opened the door to see where he was standing. That’s when their rambunctious dog reportedly jumped through the open door on a van's driver side onto the vehicle’s gas pedal. The vehicle reversed and hit James Campbell, trapping him under it.
