An elderly woman was hospitalized with serious injuries Saturday after being run over by her own vehicle in her driveway.
The accident was reported at 4 p.m. in the 9000 block of Three Seasons Road, according to San Diego police Officer Robert Heims.
It happened after the woman, 80, pulled her vehicle into the driveway of her home near Miramar.
“The vehicle began to roll backwards, and for unknown reasons the driver exited her vehicle,” he said. “She appeared to be reaching in the vehicle to press something when she was knocked to the ground by her driver’s side door. The front left tire rolled over her before the vehicle came to rest against the curb.”
The woman suffered multiple fractures to her chest and damage to her liver and a lung, Heims said.
The accident remains under investigation, he said.
