Paramedics have treated a woman in Melbourne's south-east after she was run over by her own car - twice. Advanced life support and intensive care paramedics were called to Noble Park North just before 5.30pm yesterday.
Paramedic Craig Brooks said the woman was incredibly lucky despite the unlucky chain of events. "We were told that the 37-year-old thought she had put the handbrake on as she got out of her car, but it started to roll backwards down the driveway and knocked her over," Mr Brooks said.
"She said that the car ran over her lower abdomen and legs before crossing the street, hitting a fence on the other side of the road, bouncing back and running over her again." He said ambulance officers were concerned that she might have been bleeding internally.
"The woman said she couldn't move after being crushed the first time," he said. "She had pain through her hips, her right leg and ankle. We had concerns that, while there were no major open wounds, she may have been bleeding internally." Intensive care paramedics took her to The Alfred hospital in a serious but stable condition, he said.
