A Terre Haute man was injured when he was thrown from his vehicle after it rolled over a retaining wall Sunday evening.
Danny Corbett, 73, was taken to an area hospital for non-life threatening injuries, police chief John Plasse said.
The incident occurred about 7 p.m. at Sycamore Manor assisted living complex. Corbett told police he had stopped his vehicle and got out to pick up something he had dropped. Corbett said he thought he had put the vehicle in park, but it began to roll forward so he tried to get back inside to stop it. He was halfway inside the vehicle as it drove off the ledge and crashed below, throwing him to the ground. The retaining wall is about 6 feet high.
The vehicle continued for several feet before rolling to a stop.
