I know a middle-aged woman isn't a vehicle, but the headline does include "plunge"...
Woman who takes fatal plunge from university building hits walking student
TOKYO - A woman who plunged from a university building in western Tokyo on Wednesday in an apparent suicide bid died after hitting a student walking on the campus, police said.
At about 5:40 a.m. on Wednesday, a 55-year-old unemployed woman fell from the University of Electro-Communications' building that houses laboratories in Chofu, and hit a 20-year-old female student who was walking on its premises, local police said.
The older woman died while the student suffered serious head injuries and was rushed to hospital.
A pair of sandals belonging to the woman who fell was left on the landing of an emergency stairway between the ninth and 10th floors, leading investigators to suspect that she committed suicide.
The student who was injured was on her way home after finishing preparations for an upcoming university festival, according to police. (Mainichi)
