SAN FRANCISCO -- A woman who inexplicably jumped to her death from the cab of a tow truck pulling her disabled car has been identified a socialite Sue Pritzker, widow of Hyatt Hotel chain founder, Donald Pritzker, who died 10 years ago.

Mrs. Pritzker, 49, was killed when she leaped out of the tow truck and was run over, truck driver David C. Clark told the coroner's office Thursday.

'She seemed intoxicated when I picked the car up and she began asking me if anyone she knew worked at the garage,' Clark said.

'As I rounded the corner at 16th and Folsom, I said, 'Our garage is right up here.' She looked at me as if she was 'spooked' and moved toward the passenger door of the truck. All of a sudden she opened the door and jumped out.'

Clark said Mrs. Pritzker hit her head on the pavement and the truck's rear wheels ran over her. She was pronounced dead at the scene Wednesday afternoon.

The coroners office, which Thursday identified Mrs. Pritzker, said today it could be as much as six weeks before blood tests can be completed to determine whether Mrs. Pritzker had been drinking or taking drugs.

Police said Mrs. Pritzker, of Menlo Park, Calif., had called for the tow truck after she apparently broke the drive shaft of her Cadillac as she drove crossed a set of railroad tracks. A friend said she had been driving downtown to do some shopping.

'This is a terrible tragedy,' Hyatt counsel and family friend Allen Turner said from Chicago, where the corporation is headquartered.

Born Sue Sandel in Chicago, she moved to California in the late 1950s after marrying Pritzker.

She was married a second time to Frank Aries, a Tucson, Ariz., developer and they were divorced.

Mrs. Pritzker was active in social and community affairs in San Francisco and on the San Francisco Peninsula. She was involved in numerous charitable works for the Peninsula Children's Center, the San Francisco Art Institute, the San Francisco Opera Guild, the Museum of Modern Art and the Jewish Welfare Federation.

She is survived by three children, Penny, 23, Toni, 21, and Robert, 17. Funeral services were scheduled today at Congregation Beth Am in Los Altos Hills. She will be buried in Chicago.

Summer is approaching and that means you’ll probably get the flip-flops out that you managed to use for two weeks last year. But is it advisable? Is it even legal? Well, yes, you are allowed by law to drive using flip-flops and sandals. And 6-inch stiletto heels. You can even ride a motorbike wearing any of them, although this definitely not advisable.

What happens if you have an accident while wearing inappropriate footwear?

Rule 97 of The Highway Code says that Before setting off. You should ensure that clothing and footwear do not prevent you using the controls in the correct manner. If the accident is judged to have been caused by your footwear then you may be charged with driving without due care and attention.

The onus of proof is on police to show that your standard of driving fell below that expected of a competent driver; or that you did not show ‘reasonable’ consideration for other road users. It’s open to a certain amount of interpretation. Penalty points given vary depending on how serious the offence is.

Problems caused by driving in inappropriate footwear

Flip-flops and other flat, loosely worn sandals

One in three motorists admit to driving in flip-flops and one in ten admitted their flip-flop had become caught under a pedal while driving in a survey conducted in 2013 by Sheilas’ Wheels insurance company.

• The front or sides of the flip-flop can catch underneath the brake pedal as you move your foot, preventing you from applying the brake effectively
• Flip-flops tend to have very minimal tread on the sole and this means less grip on the pedals especially if they are wet
• They come off too easily, causing a distraction when you need to put them back on.

Other research showed that braking distances were 3.5m longer at 60mph in flip-flops than in regular shoes.

Car pedals are designed to work optimally when the driver’s heel is on the floor. Wearing a high heel raises the heel making it more difficult to push the pedal effectively.

The angle of the foot when driving causes fatigue in the ankle and could lead to muscle and joint problems.

Riding in inappropriate footwear

You should never ride a motorbike or scooter without protective footwear. If you have a strong stomach, you can search Google for images of what happens. Protective clothing for motorbike riding is important to save your life.
