A 69 year old man has been killed in Bolton after his car began to roll downhill and while attempting to stop it, was run over.
He had returned to the Kia Sportage which was parked at the junction of Crompton Way and Crompton Vale following a walk.
Sergeant Philip Shaw of GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “This is appears to be a tragic accident and our thoughts are with this man’s family at this terribly difficult time for them.
“It remains important that we conduct an investigation into the circumstances of this incident to make sure the family have answers to why this happened.
“We encourage anyone who witnessed the incident, saw the car prior to the man’s return to it, or has any information that may assist our enquiries to get in touch.”
