Woman, 68, runs over and kills examiner during driving test

A driving examiner was run over and killed by a 68-year-old woman taking her test, police have confirmed.

The 35-year-old was struck down and killed by the candidate at an test centre during the part of the exam that focuses on manoeuvres.

The incident happened in the southern Polish city of Rybnik on Monday.

It's not yet known how the woman came to run over the man.

The city's deputy police commissioner Ryszard Czepczor told news channel TVP Info: "A 68-year-old woman, in circumstances which are unknown at the present time, hit the examiner, who unfortunately as a result of his injuries died at the scene.

"When we spoke to the woman she was in a state of shock and because of that speaking to her would be quite difficult."

At the time of the accident, the examiner was likely testing another candidate, the police said.

Footage from TVP Info showed the red Toyota Yaris involved in the accident with its front bumper and number plate hanging off as it was loaded on to a truck.
