Woman Dies After Being Run Over While Jump-Starting Car

Authorities saw a South Florida woman has died nearly a week after being run over by a car she was trying to jump-start.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office reports that 20-year-old Stesi Turin died Wednesday at Delray Medical Center.

Officials say she was trying to jump-start her Toyota Avalon on Aug. 13 after the car stalled in a parking lot near her home.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports that Turin didn't have the car in park, and she was run over by the front driver side tire.
