Man Run Over, Killed by Own Van After it Slips on Icy Road

A western Pennsylvania man was run over and killed by his own van because of icy road conditions.

Authorities told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that 68-year-old Gary Beigay of Apollo had just parked the vehicle outside his second-hand store when it started to slide backward on the icy street around 7:30 a.m. Saturday.

Beigay went behind in an attempt to stop it, but it rolled over him and killed him, they said.

Beigay died of blunt force trauma to the chest, according to Armstrong County Chief Deputy Coroner Robert Bellas.

Officials said the icy conditions caused dozens of crashes throughout western Pennsylvania early Saturday, but conditions were improving as the temperature rose.
