People, don't die this way, stay away from fast food.

Seriously though, be mindful of your body and your car in drive through situations.

EDIT: He pulled in at an angle and had the car in reverse and inadvertently hit the accelerator.

That must have been a very awkward angle he had to end up pinned to that tree. https://realnews45.com/st-louis-man-kil ... rive-thru/
It's a sad way to go.

A fast food customer was killed in what police called a “freak accident” at the drive-thru window of a McDonald’s in Vancouver, Canada.
Vancouver police said the man opened his door to get something he dropped from his window while paying, setting off last week’s tragedy. As he opened the door and leaned out, the car rolled forward. The door hit part of the restaurant, and he was pinned between the door and the frame...
I'm still trying to figure out that last one....Accidents are not unheard of at drive-thru windows, as motorists who try to retrieve something from outside the car may lean out an open door without putting their vehicle in park.
In 2012, also in Canada, a woman suffered serious injuries in just such a situation when her foot slipped off the brake and the car rolled forward.
In 2018, a motorist opened a door at a Jack In The Box drive-thru in St. Louis to get his food. He tried to back up, but accelerated while doing so, hit a tree, and was pinned between the car and tree.
He did not survive.
