. I was at the carwash vacuuming the truck while in drive when I got back to the passenger side to put the hose up, I reached in to remove my keys out of the ignition, and the truck rolled backwards, I ran to the driver side and the door knocked me to the ground and the 2019 colorada ran over my entire body from my feet to my face and head. I suffered a punctured lung and my pelvic bone is fractured in several places. All of this was caught on tape.
I was travelling at approximately 32 miles per hour when I rear ended a vehicle that was in front of me, the vehicle in front of me was stopped. The airbags did not deploy in my vehicle. Damage to the vehicle was substantial enough to declare the vehicle a total loss.
