    It sounds like she was laying down and the truck parked on her. Really makes you wonder why a truck is allowed on a beach.

      On those beaches, the drivable beach access spots have cones and signs telling people to stay out. It’s an emergency vehicle access area for the police, fire, EMS, and life guards. I have no idea if she was in that area or not, but I have seen people laying in those areas.

      Understood from reading, but he should have seen something from a distance. Did he forget? Not care? Was looking at something else? Hard agree with no trucks on the beach. An ATV or some sort is sufficient.
