| Description of the problem | On february 25th, i shifted my car into park and was getting out to look at back wiper which seemed to be stuck. I had left the car running. The car took off in gear and caused me to fall and break my ankle in an open compound fracture that required hospitalization and surgery. My jeep ended up hitting a parked garbage truck and sustained about $5000 damage. Who knows what my medical bills will end up being. Plus my ankle may never be right. I will include a photo of my car and x-ray. It happened on private property (taco bell parking lot). A police officer came and parked my car and called an ambulance but did not make a report since on private property. We have not heard from garbage truck and doubt it did anything to it. The car was in park and not sure how fast was going when hit the garbage truck. |
