Aurora Man Run Over by Own Car, Killed

BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — An Aurora man was killed over the weekend when he was run over by his own car.

The Highway Patrol says 41-year-old Tomas Gonzalaz lost control of his car late Sunday on a gravel road and was ejected from the vehicle when it went in the ditch and hit an embankment. Authorities say the car continued to move and ran over Gonzalaz.

The crash happened on a rural road about 11 miles northeast of Brookings. Gonzalaz was alone in the car.
