A retired doctor died while on holiday in Spain when she was crushed by a campervan, an inquest has heard.
Thu Anh Shum, 53, was travelling with her husband and fellow doctor Chau Ming Shum in their grey Mercedes campervan when the incident took place.
Coroner Bina Patel, sitting at the County Hall in Maidstone, Kent, heard the pair, who had both worked at Walderslade Village Surgery, had arrived at a car park in Granada, Spain at around 9am on November 13, last year.
The hearing heard the pair were unsure as to whether the van would fit through the car park's entrance, so 53-year-old Thu exited the vehicle, Kent Live reports.
Her husband also left the campervan from the driver's side and left it in a neutral gear.
The vehicle started to roll backwards down the ramp as Thu and Chau tried to stop it.
Despite the handbrake being on the fourth of 12 anchors, the campervan gathered speed and pushed Thu off balance.
Emergency crews attended and rescued her husband by lifting up the vehicle, however Thu was pronounced dead at the scene at 9.20am.
A post-mortem examination carried out by Dr McKenna revealed that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
The report concluded that Thu died of substantial injuries suffered in the tragic incident.
A report compiled by the local police in Granada confirmed that the vehicle had passed its inspections.
No flaws were discovered relating to the incident.
In her concluding statement, Coroner Bina Patel determined that Thu's death was a result of a road traffic collision.
She added: "The deceased exited a stationary vehicle which was positioned on a ramp of a car park.
"The vehicle began to move and she sustained fatal injuries."
