The victim forgot to put her 2018 Nissan Rogue in park when she got out in the lot of the Oakland Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center off Breakneck Road on Wednesday, Police Capt. Timothy Keenan said.

The Rogue rolled backwards, knocking the driver down and pinning her beneath it, the captain said.

Members of the Oakland Care Center and Oakland First Aid Squad tended to the woman while firefighters raised the vehicle to remove her, he said.

She was taken to St. Joseph's University Medical Center with what Keenan said fortunately were minor upper body injuries.
