Description of the problem | Vehicle was put into park while running. The vehicle then started to roll backwards while still in park and then collided into another parked vehicle. While the vehicle was rolling backwards 3 other occupants proceeded to evacuate the vehicle before it collided with the other parked car. The evacuation of the vehicle left the doors open which, when the vehicles collided, left the doors of the rolling vehicle (the jeep) unable to be closed.*updated* the driver left the vehicle to go into a gas station, the shift indicator showed the vehicle to be in park. The vehicle started to rollaway, the two children and the adult passenger evacuated the vehicle as they thought it might roll into street traffic and be struck. A child was injured exiting the vehicle as the vehicle collided with another parked vehicle, and then continued on rolling into a ditch. A bystander jumped in the vehicle to try to stop the rolling and noticed that the shift indicator was showing the vehicle was in park.*smch.... Updated 04/25/16 *bf updated 11/01/2017*cn |
