I WORK FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PARKING DEPARTMENT. WE HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE A JEEP CHEROKEE WAS ROLLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PARKED ON A UPSLOPED RAMP, AND THEN BEGAN TO SLOWLY ROLL BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. THE ROLLOUT WAS VERY GRADUAL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY PLACING BRICKS BEHIND THE TIRES. WHEN THE OWNER CAME TO GET HIS VEHICLE, I WAS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM SINCE HE SPOKE SPANISH.*AK
