Anton Yelchin, Star Trek's Chekov, killed by his own car
Anton Yelchin, the Russian-born actor who played Chekov in the new Star Trek films, has been killed by his own car at his home in Los Angeles, police say.
It struck him after rolling backwards down the steep drive at his Studio City home, pinning him against a brick postbox pillar and a security fence.
He died shortly after 01:00 (08:00 GMT) on Sunday.
Yelchin, 27, also appeared in such films as Like Crazy (2011) and Green Room (2015).
Yelchin played Pavel Chekov, the role originally made famous by Walter Koenig (now 79), in the films Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013).
A third film with him in the role, Star Trek Beyond, is due for release next month.
Bye,Anton.

Holy shit, that sucks.
I actually liked the Fright Night remake and thought he did a good job.

The real shitty thing is that this was a known issue and Chrysler issued a recall.

I just ran across his obituary again. To die so young at 28, and what a bizarre way to die, when he clearly had many years of a very good life still ahead of him.
About 15 years ago a neighbor had that happen, I ran across the street and sslowed the SUV before it could pick up too much momentum, which probably prevented it from crashing through the front bedroom of another neighbor's house.
