NOT YOUR AVERAGE HIT-AND-RUN

A man walking his dog was run down and killed by his own car on 23 march. His Nissan Primara hurtled down Portsdown Hill, near Portsmouth , and hit him after he had left it in a car park. Police believe the handbrake had slipped. "it appears as if he tried to stop the car by standing in front of it," said a spokesman. D.Mirror, 24 March 2003
