QLD: Teenager trapped by reversing car

A teenage girl is lucky she didn't lose her legs when she was pinned between two cars
in a South Brisbane car park for an hour last night.

Police say the 17-year-old was standing behind the open rear door of a four wheel drive
when a 67-year-old woman in a hatchback reversed into her instead of accelerating forward.

Police initially feared the girl could lose one or both legs .. but it appears she
escaped with severe bruising and shock .. and the hospital says she'll be home soon.

Investigations are continuing.
