“The car was on an incline in my driveway. It has the transmission shift lever on the column, and I had been backing down the driveway. I stopped placed the car in park and got out with the engine running to move something. The car sat in place for approximately 10 seconds and then spontaneously took off at approximately 5miles/hour. Fortunately my daughter was standing on the driver side of the car in front and saw the car rolling forward, jumped in and hit the brakes just as the car struck one of other cars on the driveway. …”
