“When the driver got out of the car, a Proton Saga, she forgot to change the gear to ‘P’ causing the car to move forward.

“In a state of panic, the woman quickly went back to the car to control it from continuing to move. But, it is said that she mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal causing it to crash into the premises,” he said.
