The elderly man did not see the young girl as he was pulling into a car park, and when he noticed her and tried to stop he accidentally pushed the accelerator instead of the brake, according to a summary of facts. The car hit Kong once knocking her back “metres through the air”. The car continued to accelerate until it hit a tree, coming to a rest on top of the young girl. Her father Yong Ning Kong tried in vain to lift the car off his daughter.
