Woman Pinned Between Two Cars during Accident

On Thursday evening, a San Diego woman was seriously injured after she was pinned between two cars in a Clairemont Mesa strip mall parking lot, say local law enforcement officers.

Police say the 67-year-old victim sustained injuries to both her legs, pelvis, as well as internal injuries.  She was allegedly hit at 5:30 PM by a PT Cruiser that was operated by a 65-year-old woman.  The car had been parked in the lot and the driver allegedly lost control of the vehicle after starting it and stepping on the accelerator while the car was in reverse.

Instead of stopping, she continued to drive out of control through the parking lot area and hit the pedestrian who became pinned between the PT Cruiser and a parked automobile.

Following the car accident, the victim had to be taken to a local trauma center.  The collision is still being investigated, but police do not think alcohol was involved.
