She can not open the windows, door before running out of gas? Can not turn on blinkers? or even stopped in the middle of the road so others can stop to check her? So many ways to get help. Don;t know how could this happen.
美国密苏里州一名36岁女子奥克斯利（Megan Oxley），上周五晚上开车载著2名年幼侄女外出时，开车开到没油，由于她半身瘫痪无法离开，2名侄女也无力助她脱困，等到她被发现时，已经热死在驾驶座上。

据美国《纽约邮报》报导，奥克斯利在8月25日晚上载著侄女们出发，但到隔天上午，家人们都再没有收到她们的讯息，家属担心报警，虽然当时奥克斯利的手机已经没电，但警方仍然成功追踪到手机位置，并找到了奥克斯利等人。
当时的气温达到摄氏38度，警方指出，奥克斯利已经死在驾驶座上，推测是因为开车开到没油，结果热死在车裡，而2名侄女似乎曾经试图协助她离开车辆，但可能因为年纪太小力有不逮。2名侄女虽然因为有中暑情况被送医治疗，但所幸没有生命危险。
