Yep saw this and hits close to home for me

I started shaking reading the story. Same exact thing happened to me two years ago. Put suv in neutral instead of park when getting out of garage to run back inside with family in car. Started going in reverse due to decline of garage on a hill and the car door pinned me against the brick garage column in middle of garage with car still going backwards and door bending. Rushed to hospital and had broken ribs and thought I was going to die. Wife had to put it in drive to pin me loose and had she not been there I would have died.

Still gives me chills. What a freak accident. RIP

Yelchin's friends became alarmed because he was supposed to meet them hours earlier for a rehearsal. They went to his San Fernando Valley home at around 1 AM and found him pinned between his car and a brick mailbox, which was attached to a security gate.

Law enforcement tells us the engine was running when his body was discovered, and the car was in neutral. The driveway was on a fairly steep incline. It's unclear why he got out of the car.

Looking forward to seeing him in Green Room, he had a promising career ahead of him. On the positive side, Star Trek Beyond just made an extra $50 million.
