A MAN has been run over by his own car in the Dordogne after forgetting to set the hand-brake properly.
The 46-year-old driver, a visiting tourist from Paris, was taken to the emergency unit at Sarlat but his condition is not thought to be life-threatening.
He had parked his vehicle on a slight slope in Sarlat but when he stepped behind it the car started to move. He was trapped under the vehicle, suffering crush injuries to his chest.
