Claimant states that the car was in park, engine off, and the emergency brake was engaged. Claimant left keys in the ignition and procedeed to the rear of vehicle. After cleanng the tailgate area, claimant went to remove keys. At this point the vehicle rolled backwards down the driveway with claimant half in the car. Vehicle hit husband's park car, and continued into the street where it struck a neighbor's mailbox, thus throwing the claimant from the vehicle. Vehicle continued folling down a very steep hill and went over a curb where we believed the vehicle flipped over. Claimant was taken to emergency room and was X-ray. Fortunately, there were no broken bones. Claimant easily could have been killed or seriously wounded by the vehicle.
