A Houston man accidentally put his foot on the gas instead of the brake as he pulled into his driveway, fatally pinning his wife and mother-in-law to the rear garage wall.

Police say the man's 6-year-old nephew also was seriously injured in the 10 a.m. Friday accident. He was hospitalized for treatment of internal injuries and was in undetermined condition

The women who were killed, ages 66 and 41, had been cooking a meal in the two-car garage when the driver returned from a driver's license office with his father-in-law, a passenger in the car.

Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said the driver, a recent immigrant from Vietnam, confused the brake and accelerator pedals.
