(Cleveland)- Officials say an elderly man escaped serious injury Friday afternoon in a vehicle accident on private property in the city of Cleveland.
Cleveland Fire Chief Ricky Pruitt said, the victim pulled his car off Campbell Street onto a private drive. As the man started to exit the vehicle it began to roll, knocking him down.
According to Pruitt, the vehicle then rolled across Campbell Street through the yard next to Glenda’s Restaurant. In the process the vehicle struck an LP gas tank, knocking it over, and coming to rest against a parked vehicle. Pruitt said, when the vehicle knocked over the gas tank it caused a small leak.
Cleveland Fire Department secured the area, until a gas company employee arrived and stopped the leak.
