The car had been in park (idleing), in the driveway, but popped into reverse after I stepped out for a moment. As the car rolled backwards, along side another car in the driveway, the drivers side door (which I'd left open since I was simply grabbing something 20 feet away) was inverted (folded backwards) due to the impact from the other parked car.
