Woman dies protecting her Buick.



CHINO HILLS (AP)- A Southern California woman has died after apparently trying to stop a tow truck driver from repossessing her vehicle.
San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Jodi Miller says 42-year-old Lisa Via was pronounced dead early Tuesday after being struck.
Driver Leo Song told detectives he backed up his truck to a 2002 Buick parked in the driveway of Via’s mobile home in Chino Hills.
As Song lifted the car, Via came out and begged Song not to take her car. He told her he had to take it.
He said he assumed Via had moved away when he began to pull the car, but the woman’s husband approached him and said his wife was trapped under the Buick.
Miller says her death appears to be a tragic accident.

Crushed by your own car is a tough way to go, but I totally understand her motives. This isn't some shitty Honda we're talking about here. This is a fucking Buick. And a 2002 no less. It's the Cadillac of non-Cadillacs. You just don't let some guy come along and repo your Buick. You fight til the end to hold on to it, which is apparently what this broad did. I really can't think of a more noble way to die.
