It seems that the car park was full and that the lady had stopped in a spot reserved for disabled people and remained on board, ready to move if someone arrived. Then she would have noticed a free place. And she would have tried to reach him after moving in reverse, then a left turn and another maneuver, the fatal one: perhaps the automatic gearbox and the excitement of the moment could have led her into error, these are the first hypotheses.
