(01-23-13) 10:59 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A San Francisco limousine driver died Tuesday when he was pinned between his vehicle and a parked car while trying to stop the limo from rolling down a hill.
The driver, whose name has not been released, was letting the passengers out his limousine near Post and Taylor streets at about 6:20 p.m. when the car began rolling backward, said Officer Gordon Shyy, a police spokesman.
The driver stepped behind the car to try to stop it, but was unable to do so and was crushed between the limousine and the parked car, Shyy said. He died at San Francisco General Hospital.
Investigators are trying to determine why the limousine began rolling backward, Shyy said.
