HILLSBOROUGH, North Carolina -- An 85-year-old Orange County woman was killed Saturday when her car rolled onto her while she checked her mail.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said it happened just before 3 p.m. in the area of Hoot Owl Drive off Old NC 10.

Florence Frush apparently left her Toyota Prius in neutral instead of park and it rolled forward, trapping her underneath.
