A man was run over by his own car after remotely starting the vehicle while it was in gear.
He was standing in front of his Nissan outside of Bowl Thai in the 15000 block of Western Avenue in Gardena at around 11 p.m Tuesday when the accident occurred, a Gardena Police Department spokesman said.
After striking the man, the car ended up driving inside the eatery and smashing into the counter.
The vehicle's owner suffered minor injuries. No one inside the business, which was closing at the time, was hurt.
