Brian Harvey from East 17 is the only other person I've heard of who ran himself over in a car he was driving. He got stuck under the wheels somehow.

The model of Jeep he owned was recalled for having a confusingly designed shifter that led to some rollaway problems.

"The issue itself is not a fault of engineering but rather design, as the shifter returns to the default center position without giving the driver sufficient feedback as to the selected gear.

 

As a result, a number of owners have exited their vehicles thinking that they had put the vehicle into Park, while in reality it remained in Drive or Reverse position. The NHTSA has called the operation of the shifter "unintuitive" and had opened an investigation into the issue months ago."
