As she opened her door to reach down and get her card, the woman accidentally accelerated. The sudden acceleration caused the car to collide with the payment machine, trapping Strauss’ head between the car door and the door frame.
To make matters more tragic, the deadly scene was left undisturbed until the next morning, when a security guard called in a report of the incident. Police responded to the scene at around 5:40 a.m. Tuesday; she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Strauss was reportedly a Florida native and a graduate student at Ohio State University. R.I.P.
