This type of accident is actually not too uncommon :(
On the afternoon of 3 November 2004, in the town of Methuen, MA, 10-year-old Natalie Gravel and 8-year-old Merrideth Reed were playing in a pile of leaves left in the street outside their apartment building. Just before the accident, neighbors saw the girls laughing and shoveling leaves at each other with plastic trash-can lids.
At about 5 p.m., Natalie's father drove his full-size 1997 GMC 1500 pickup over that pile of leaves as he rolled to his accustomed parking spot on the street. James Gravel never saw the two girls playing amidst the fallen autumn foliage, perhaps because they deliberately ducked out of sight in an effort to surprise him Leaf pile and Natalie's two siblings, who were in the truck with him.
The 36-year-old contractor had no idea anything was amiss until he got out of the truck. It was then he discovered the horribly injured girls, his own daughter and the daughter of the woman he lived with, both of whom had been crushed under his front and rear tires.

I know it's cold, but the ingenious plan those girls concocted was about as intelligent as jumping out in front of an armed cop and screaming 'BOO!' in the middle of a shootout.
So fucking stupid...
