The man was pinned at one point after his vehicle rolled down a driveway on Wagner Drive in Abbotsford.

A 21-year-old Abbotsford man broke his leg on Monday evening while he was trying to stop his car from rolling.

The man parked his Toyota Celica in a sloped driveway in the 3300 block of Wagner Drive at about 10:30 p.m.

As he was walking away from the vehicle, it began rolling back, hitting a vehicle parked across the street and then a pole.

Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said, at some point during the incident, the man ran behind the car to try to stop it, and he was pinned. His leg was fractured but he suffered no other injuries.
