  • Automatic transmission

I stopped the car near a dumpster and put the shift lever in park. I opened the driver door and exited the vehicle. The engine was running and the parking brake was not engaged. I began to walk toward the rear of the vehicle and it began to back up. I attempted to jump back in through the open door but the door jamb caught me and threw me to the ground partially under the car. The door caught the dumpster and was bent back to the front fender and the left front tire rolled over my left foot and right lower leg. A person nearby jumped in the car and stopped it a few feet from a brick wall. I was taken to an emergency room for X-rays and there were no broken bones. I had deep bruises on my left foot, both arms, my right shin and on the back of my right upper thigh. My left knee and my left hamstring were both strained. I am still having difficulty walking without pain in my left leg.
