Car wrecks can be pretty dangerous for everyone on the road. However, they usually involve multiple vehicles. Recently, one Ohio woman was rushed to the hospital after being run over by her car. Luckily, there were others on the scene to call 911 following the unorthodox collision. 

Most car wrecks don’t involve people being hit by their own cars

Car wrecks happen every day. They can be fatal and cause widespread damage to other vehicles. However, neither of those things happened in this recent story. According to Cleveland 19, police were called to a store on December 17th. There had been an accident where a woman had gotten out of her car to stop a run-a-way cart.

Sadly, it seems the woman must have forgotten that her car was in drive. The report says that her vehicle rolled back and hit her as she tried to grab the run-a-way grocery store cart. Then, the car continued to roll backward and struck a separate vehicle. Still, the damage was nowhere near as bad as in other car wrecks.

Luckily, another person in the parking lot heard the victim calling out for help. This is how the police were alerted to the car wreck and injured person. The woman in question is 50 years old, and the emergency responders on the scene took her to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Of course, there won’t be any charges in this case, but we’re sure the respective car insurance companies will be involved due to the damage.
