Consumer Description

ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, I PUT MY JEEP INTO PARK WITH THE ENGINE IDLING. I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP, WALKED UP MY DRIVEWAY AND PICKED UP MY NEWSPAPER. WHEN I TURNED AROUND I SAW MY JEEP ROLL UP OVER THE CURB AND ACROSS MY FRONT LAWN. I RAN AFTER THE JEEP AND JUST AS I WAS JUMPING INTO THE DRIVER SEAT, I WAS KNOCKED OUT OF THE JEEP, WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CRASHED INTO A STREET LAMP POST AND SMASHED INTO ME. MY JEEP ROLLED DOWN THE ROAD AND THROUGH NEIGHBOR'S YARDS FOR APPROXIMATELY .2 OF A MILE. MY JEEP CASHED INTO AND DAMAGED A CABLE AND TELEPHONE UTILITY BOX, TWO SECTIONS OF A WROUGHT IRON FENCE, 2 SECTIONS OF A WOODEN PRIVACY FENCE, BUSHES, ONE TREE, AN ELECTRIC OUTLET AND TWO CLAPBOARDS ON THE BOTTOM OF A HOUSE. WHEN I FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO MY JEEP IT WAS STILL IDLING AND THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK.*AK
