A 77-year-old man was crushed to death by his own SUV after he accidentally left his car in drive when he got out to argue with another motorist over a Brooklyn parking spot, police said Monday.
Iosif Lontsman flew into a rage over a parking spot he was competing for on Ocean Ave. near Avenue W. about 4:25 p.m. Thursday, according to cops.
He inadvertently left his Subaru Forester in drive when he got out to quarrel. He was struck by a rear wheel of his own vehicle and wound up wedged between his SUV and a Nissan Altima driven by a 43-year-old woman.
His Forester also struck a parked an unoccupied BMW X4 as it rolled forward.
Medics rushed Lontsman to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where he later died from severe head and body injuries. He was about a mile from home when he was crushed by his SUV.
It wasn’t immediately clear who Lontsman had been arguing with.
No one has been charged but police are still investigating what happened.
