Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Stopped on roadway to pick up a part that had fallen out of the truck traveling in front of me. i put my 1998 chevy suburban in park and popped the rear hatch. i remember hearing the rear hatch click and now realize that the hatch won't release unless the truck is in park. i walked behind my truck to pick up the part. after i picked it up, i was knocked down by the force of my truck. the truck must have slipped out of gear after i'd put it in park. i recently read about a similar incident in the local newspaper, where this happened to someone else with this type of vehicle. the truck rolled over me, and i was trapped under it. a man came and drove the truck off me. i suffered a deep cut to the back of my head, the meat was ripped off my leg, i shattered the t-12 vertebra in my back and the disks above and below were compressed.
