Police say a man in Hale Barns was run over yesterday after the car in which he had been a passenger suddenly started to roll down Shay Lane.
Officers are asking for witnesses after the incident at around 5.30pm yesterday.
The 40-year-old victim had been sat in the front nearside passenger seat of his car, which had been parked up and stationary on Shay Lane but on a slight incline.

After being rescued by firefighters, the man was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
