Kimberly Riggs, 40, let her daughter take the wheel of her car in the parking lot of the Newport Church of God in Newport, Kentucky, after they had attended church.
But when the teenager got behind the wheel, she mistakenly pressed down on the car's accelerator instead of the brakes and suddenly backed up the car hitting and knocking her mother to the ground.
Then the girl began driving uncontrollably in the lot, knocking down a fence and hitting the back of a home.
She then turned the vehicle around and hit her mother again, pinning the woman’s body against a fence.
'I see the front end of this car coming over my neighbor's fence,' Brandy Raleigh, who witnessed the terrible accident, told WLWT-TV.
'I yelled to her [Riggs] 'Move!' but it was too late. The girl driving the car had struck the woman. You would never think to see something like that,' she added.
The pastor of the church, Rusty Wollum, said congregants rushed to help Riggs, who was described as barely conscious after she was hit.
'She couldn't speak but she could just barely breathe by holding her sternum,' he told WAVE-TV.
'We were trying to keep her calm, telling her that help was on the way, that we were there with her,' he added.
Riggs, a single mother of two, was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The daughter was also treated for minor injuries.
