She unfortunately faced a second problem.
The woman was run over by the car as it rolled down the road. It also hit several parked vehicles down the street.

“It’s very unusual to have an animal leap into a car and bite somebody like this and then get run over by your own car. The car rolled into the street and did strike a parked vehicle as well,” said Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Channing Taylor, according to News 6.
The woman, who suffered critical injuries, was seen being carried away by emergency services on a stretcher.
