An 82-year-old man was severely injured when his car rolled over him Friday afternoon, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office said.
Earl Williams and his wife were heading uphill in their driveway on Brittany Farm Lane about 5:30 p.m. when he spotted some wild turkeys near a barn, sheriff’s spokesman Matt Lea said in a news release.
Williams stopped for a better view and got out, but forgot to put his Jeep Wrangler in park. The vehicle began to move, knocking him down and rolling completely over him and down the hill while his wife clung to the passenger seat, unable to stop the Jeep.
The vehicle stopped when it reached level ground and the wife was unharmed, Lea said.
But Life Force was called to fly Williams to the hospital with severe injuries, he said. Williams’ condition was not known but is assumed to be critical, he added.
