The person who tried to move the vehicle wasn’t successful and apparently left the SUV in neutral before leaving the vehicle.

The SUV, which was parked on a slight incline, began to roll, knocking one woman down and running over her hand before pushing another woman against a large rock.

Neither woman suffered serious injuries but both were transported to hospital by Emergency Health Services.
