Consumer Description

I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR, TURNED AROUND AND GLANCED AT THE CAR, AND SAW THAT IT WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE STREET. I RAN TO JUMP INTO THE CAR, LANDED CHEST FIRST ON THE DRIVER SEAT, WITH MY LEGS DANGLING OUT THE DOOR. I SAW THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, RATHER THAN PARK, AS I HAD LEFT IT. I THREW THE CAR INTO PARK. IT KEPT ROLLING, PICKING UP SPEED AND FORCING MY BODY TO BEGIN SLIPPING OUT THE DOOR. I REACHED FOR THE FOOT BRAKE, COULDN'T REACH IT, AND FELL OUT THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE'S WHEELS ROLLED 12 INCHES FROM MY HEAD. I JUMPED UP AND WATCHED THE VEHICLE CRASH INTO A NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE AND STOP. I DON'T KNOW THE DOLLAR COST DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE. *AK
