“On wednesday, june 8, 2016, at 10:00 a.m., I put my car in park on my driveway. My car was stationary on my driveway when I exited it and went into my garage. When I turned around, my unoccupied car was coming toward me from the driveway into the garage. I was unable to get out of the way of the car and ended up pinned between the left wall of my garage, a recycle can, and the car. Fortunately, the car was rolling into the garage in a straight line, which left just enough space between my body, the car, and the wall; otherwise, I would have been crushed and killed. …”
