A car was parked in front of a lorry at the side of the pavement. The lorry driver was in the process of unloading the lorry's cargo.

The car driver went to check something in his boot when the lorry suddenly rolled forward, causing the car driver to become stuck between both the car and the lorry.

As a result of the motion and his positioning, the man slid under his car. The lorry continued to push the car a few metres ahead, effectively pushing the trapped man forward as well.

According to the police, initial information states that the man was only slightly injured. He was treated by emergency service personnel at the scene and then taken to hospital.

As the police need to test whether the lorry had technical issues, officers seized the vehicle.
