THE CONTACT SHARING A ROLLAWAY INCIDENT W/ A 2018 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CAR WAS IN PARK WHEN THE EVENT OCCURRED. I'VE A FULLER VERSION OF THIS, IF NEEDED.*DT *DT*DT*DT*DT*JB*DT*DT*DT *TP DETAILS: ON 12/16/19, I CAME HOME AROUND 4:45PM. IT WAS RAINING & ALMOST DARK. MY SON WAS IN BACKSEAT & I WAS DRIVING. I PARKED AT THE TOP OF MY DRIVEWAY, FRONT 1ST. (THE DRIVEWAY IS LONG/SLOPED, BUT EVENS AT THE TOP, STILL SLIGHTLY ANGLED.) I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, PRESSED THE PARKING BREAK (PER HABIT), AND, LEAVING THE CAR COMPLETELY ON, I UNLOCKED MY HOME'S DOOR. MY SON WAS IN THE CAR, LISTENING TO A SONG, AS I GOT THE TRASH CANS/MAIL FROM THE CURB. (THIS ALL TOOK 5 MINS, THUS, I KNOW THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK, NOT NEUTRAL OR REVERSE.) I OPENED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR & TOLD MY SON TO GO IN THE HOUSE. STANDING ON MY DRIVEWAY, I GOT MY BAGS & REACHED ACROSS TO PRESS THE KEYLESS START BUTTON. AS SOON AS I DID, THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND HIT A TREE. THE CAR DOOR PUSHED ME DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET LEAP FREE, JUST AS THE CAR REALLY PICKED UP SPEED. IT FINALLY CRASHED INTO A TREE IN MY NEIGHBOR'S YARD, LANDING OVER A DRAINAGE DITCH B/W OUR HOMES. THERE WERE ONLY MINOR INJURIES. THE CARSEAT HEADREST BROKE. THE VISIBLE CAR DAMAGE IS ON THE REAR BUMPER/LIFTGATE AND THE PASSENGER DOOR. SHAKEN, I DIDN'T THINK TO TAKE PHOTOS OR CALL THE POLICE. AS I AWAITED A TOW TRUCK, I DID NOT ACCESS THE CAR: IT WAS OVER THE DITCH, IN MUD AND RAIN, W/ 1 WHEEL SUSPENDED IN AIR. WHEN THE TOW DRIVER HAD ME GET IN TO HELP HIM MOVE IT, AND I FOUND THE PARKING BREAK DEPRESSED AND THE CAR IN PARK. THE TOW-TRUCK DRIVER MAY BE ABLE TO VERIFY THIS. (THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT COMPLETELY PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. MAYBE HALFWAY.) *TP I HAVE FILED A REPORT WITH NISSAN. NISSAN STATED WE WERE NOT TO BLAME.*DT *TP CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD MINOR BRUISES ON HER RIGHT ANKLE AND HEEL.*JB *TP CONSUMER WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF THE PROBLEM.*JB *DL *TR*JB *TP CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE MAY BE RECORDED IN HUSBAND'S NAME AT THE COLLISION CENTER.*JB*DT*JB *TP
