At approximately 9:55 a.m., Takoma Park officers responded to the 1000 block of Merwood Drive in Takoma Park for the report of a single vehicle personal injury collision.
The preliminary investigation indicated that the 84-year-old female victim drove her gold 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue into the driveway at the address in the 1000 block of Merwood Drive after running errands. As she began to exit the vehicle, the vehicle was not secured in park and began to roll back collecting and pinning the victim underneath the vehicle. The victim succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
