Traffic - Curious accident: Driver trapped by her own car door

A 56-year-old driver was trapped and injured by the door of her own car in a parking lot in Steinen (Lörrach district) at night. According to police, the woman was driving towards the exit of the parking lot early Tuesday morning when a stranger opened the back door of her car. Because the man refused to be driven away verbally, the driver got out.

The 56-year-old was trapped by the closing driver's door. According to the police, the car rolled on without a driver and hit another parked car. There were initially no witnesses to the strange accident, according to a police spokesperson. However, the woman 's statements were plausible. She was not under the influence of alcohol.
