PORT LUDLOW — A woman was seriously injured Sunday when her parked car rolled over her.
A female driver got out of her parked car at Snug Harbor Cafe on Oak Bay Road at Osprey Ridge Road, and failed to put on the parking brake, Port Ludlow Fire Rescue Chief Brad Martin said Sunday afternoon.
The parking lot is on an incline and the car rolled backward, knocking the woman to the ground and rolling over her leg, Martin said.
The woman had extensive leg injuries, including bone fractures, and was taken by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, he said.
Martin said the injuries were serious, but the woman was in stable condition.
The fire department does not release the names of patients it treats.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said investigators determined the incident was an accident and also declined to release the name of the injured woman.
