A woman was run over by her own vehicle – but that did not stop cops from issuing her a ticket.
Cops responded to the intersection of Helms Mill and Dalton roads in Hackettstown, New Jersey, shortly before 7.30pm on Monday.
‘Through an investigation, it was determined that a 61-year-old female of Hackettstown, NJ was getting out her 2014 Lincoln when she didn’t realize her vehicle was not in park,’ stated the Hackettstown Police Department.
‘As she attempted to stop the vehicle from rolling, she fell out of the vehicle and the vehicle rolled over the left side of her body.’
The woman’s vehicle kept rolling and hit a 2016 Ford that was parked on Helms Mill Road.
She sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to Morristown Medical Center. Saint Claire’s Paramedics responded to the scene.
The woman was later issued a summons ‘for having an unregistered vehicle’, according to police.
Her identity was not immediately released.
It is not the first time a person has received a ticket in an unusual circumstance.
In January, a man got his first-ever parking ticket outside the home he had lived at since 1981.
