When he saw that his car, which he had just parked, was moving and picking up speed, he tried with all his strength to stop it, but he couldn't and was knocked over.
Tragedy on Sunday evening in Torrimpietra, near Rome, where a 45-year-old Pakistani citizen died crushed by his car.
The man was making home deliveries of kebabs and had stopped the car for a few moments to bring the food ordered by customers to his restaurant.
Perhaps due to distraction or tiredness he would not have engaged the handbrake and the car, due to the slope of the road, picked up speed.
The alarm went off around 10pm in via Elini.
When help arrived for Latif Rana Zahid, owner of a kebab shop in the area, there was nothing left that could be done.
The Carabinieri from the Torrimpietra station were on site and started investigations.
Investigators immediately hypothesized a tragedy.
Probably the man did not apply the brake before getting out of the car or there could have been a malfunction.
In fact the car suddenly moved and hit him.
