I PARKED MY 2005 FORD EXPLORER 'EDDIE BAUER' AT THE FLAT TOP OF A DRIVEWAY AT 115 HOPKINS LANE IN BECKET, MA 01223. I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO 'P' AND EASILY REMOVED THE KEY WHICH I STASHED IN THE CUP HOLDER AS ALWAYS. THE DRIVE OF THE CAR PARKED BEHIND ME WAS STANDING ABOUT 20 FEET TO MIGHT RIGHT AND AS I WAS WALKING BEHIND MY VEHICLE SHE YELLED 'MOVE! YOUR CAR IS ROLLING!'. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AS THE FORD ROLLED VERY SLOWLY BACK ABOUT 6 FEET AND THE TRAILER HITCH CRUSHED THE REAR BUMPER OF HER 1999 PORSCHE 'BOXSTER'. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS HURT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE DAMAGE TO THE PORSCHE WILL BE $1,400 + . HAD THE FORD MECHANISM BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXTRICATE MY KEY. *TR
SUV WAS IN PARK WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. DRIVER RELEASED HOOD IN ERROR GOT OUT TO CLOSE HOOD AND OWNER GOT OUT OF MIDDLE ROW TO RELEASE BRAKE. WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS RELEASED CAR ROLLED AND DOOR HIT PARKED VEHICLE DAMAGING FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. CHILD WAS IN CAR STRAPPED IN CHILD'S CAR SEAT. VERY SCARY FEELING FOR CAR TO BE ROLLING BACKWARDS WITH CHILD INSIDE CAR ALONE. *JB
