NHTSA complaint: 2016 RAM 1500 — UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK. IT WAS DARK OUT. I STEPPED OUT OF MY VEHICLE ONTO THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE MOON. AS MY FEET HIT THE PAVEMENT THE TRUCK BEGIN TO ROLL IN REVERSE. I WAS HIT BY THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THROWN TO THE GROUND. I ROLLED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE BEFORE BEING RUN OVER BY THE TIRE. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO GO IN REVERSE AND I CHASED AFTER THE VEHICLE PURE ADRENALINE WAS ALL THAT KEPT ME GOING. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO JUMP INTO THE MOVING VEHICLE. I WAS DRAGGED A SHORT DISTANCE BEFORE PULLING MYSELF INTO THE TRUCK CAB. I APPLIED THE BRAKE BRINGING THE TRUCK TO A STOP. I LOOKED AT THE DIAL SHIFTER AND IT STILL SAID IT WAS IN PARK. I SUFFERED BRUISING AND A DECENT SIZED CONTUSION TO MY RIGHT LEG AND SOME BRUISED RIBS. I AM VERY FORTUNATE TO BE AGILE ENOUGH TO HAVE ESCAPED WORSE INJURIES.
