An 84-year-old woman has died after her husband backed their car into her on the driveway of their Sheffield home.
A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said Doreen Dickinson's death in Halifax Road, Grenoside on Tuesday appeared to be "a tragic accident".
The couple are thought to have been preparing for a day out when Mr Dickinson, 85, reversed the automatic Mercedes saloon on the driveway.
The car hit his wife and then crashed through a low wall, police said.
Police said the elderly couple were taken to Sheffield's Northern General Hospital, where Mrs Dickinson later died.
