YESTERDAY WHILE FILLING SUV WITH GAS THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK. I HAD PROCESSED MY DEBIT CARD, CHOSE GAS AND WAS IN THE FILLING PROCESS WHEN THE CAR ROLLED AWAY- SPILLING GAS AS NOZZLE WAS IN CAR. I RAN AFTER THE VEHICLE AND FELL TRYING TO CATCH IT. IT HIT A CURB, BOUNCED BACK AND CONTINUED ACCELERATING FORWARD. SOMEHOW I MANAGED IN EXTREME PANIC MODE TO CATCH UP WITH THE CAR- GET THE DOOR OPEN AND GET THE CAR BACK INTO PARK MODE. I WAS ALONE. THE WRITER KNOB WAS IN PARK OR I COULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN THAT FAR WITH THE DEBIT- THE GAS CAPTURE AND THE NOZZLE.I AM SO SORE FROM THE FALL AND CHASE. OTHERS SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND CAME TO MY AID. I HAVE NOT GONE TO A DOCTOR. GOT HOME DRENCHED IN GASOLINE AS CAR TOOK OFF WHILE PUMPING AND ICED MYSELF EVERYWHERE. MY BACK IS KILLING ME AND AND MY ARMS FROM CATCHING A MOVING VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. SOMEONE IN FRONT OF THIS CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN MOWED DOWN OR A CAR IN FRONT WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. SO DISTURBED. CAR HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT AND I WILL SELL IT TO CARMAX NEXT WEEK. WHAT HAPPENED TO MAKE A CAR IN PARK GETTING FUEL JUST TAKE OFF IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION. THERE WAS NO HILL AS I AM IN FLAT FL. EVERY PART OF ME IS IN PAIN TODAY. CAR WAS STATIONARY BEING FILLED WITH GAS WHEN IT TORE AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP AND PROCEEDED STRAIGHT- IT ACCELERATED. IT WAS IN PARK.
