Van hits Bayou Vista man before sinking in canal http://www.khou.com/news/local/Van-h...128532718.html
BAYOU VISTA, Texas — A man making repairs to his girlfriend’s van was run over after the van unexpectedly started and drove off a boat ramp and into a canal Friday afternoon.
The Bayou Vista man survived with a pair of broken ribs, but the van sunk to the bottom of the canal.
David Jameson was working on the starter of his girlfriend’s Ford Econoline van at about 3 p.m. Friday in the 420 block of Pompano, when all of a sudden it started.
“I heard the engine start and then it just started moving,” Jameson said.
The van sped-off down the side of the house and rolled off a boat ramp into the canal.
