A Queens man has accidentally run over his wife moments after they finished washing their car at a gas station on Saturday, according to police.

Isabel Cohetero, 51-year-old, died after she was mowed down by her 50-year-old husband at around 12:15 p.m. at a Fresh Pond gas station. When the husband realized that the car was in reverse he accidentally slammed the gas pedal instead of hitting the brakes.

"The husband came here and say 'I need help, my wife, serious,' " said an employee. "He was all the time crying, 'My wife! My wife!' She wasn't moving."

Cohetero died shortly after being rushed to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center.

"This is very sad, very sad news," a neighbor told reporters. "In 15 years we have known them we never had a problem."
