Description of the problem | Vehicle was parked, and running, on sloped driveway. My wife, who had exited the car, returned to turn the car off. She opened the door and turned the car off. The car then began rolling down the driveway. The car door was still open and my wife ended up running backwards with the car, which went into a street and hit a curb. The door hit my my wife in the head causing her to fall. She sustained road rash abrasions on her hip and shoulder. She has no recollection of the incident. She spent a night in the hospital and had to undergo a ct scan, brain mri, eeg and hip xray. All those turned out negative. The diagnosis from the doctor was transient global amnesia. |
