~ What's wrong with this picture to begin with? People walking in the middle of the street, not even caring if a vehicle is driving in front of them. They probably thought the vehicle was casually backing up & just didn't bother to care.
~ Unless the vehicle was put into neutral, whether automatic or manual transmission, then this would happen, as well if the parking brake was not secured.
~ Thanx terrence:
If they were swapping seats as the witness in the article suggests the FDH would have been about to drive the car home. The boss was not dropping her FDH off to go for a beer. That suggests her boss was driving and was the person who failed to use the handbrake.
According to icable.....Apparently, car was parked on Peel Street incline with driver and passenger in the process of swapping places

At 0:26 it looks like the woman was fiddling on her phone while standing in the middle of a street. She had plenty of time to move out of the way .

i think the reason no one stops to help in 3rd world countries/oppressed countries is because they see this shit all the time and they are immune...

Update:

Citizens paid their last respects to the 27-year-old French Chinese woman who died at Lan Kwai Fong after being hit by a runaway car, as did the boyfriend who posted a photo on Facebook and wrote "My life My love."

A fatal traffic incident happened in Central on Friday night where an unsecured vehicle rolled backward and hit eight persons, including E. Ma, who was dragged underneath the car. Ma was rushed to Queen Mary Hospital after sustaining severe injury and eventually passed away on Saturday evening.

Ma's boyfriend on Monday evening updated his Facebook profile photo to one showing the sweet couple hiking together. The boyfriend touchingly captioned the picture, "My whole world, My life, My love."

Citizens also paid tribute to Ma by placing flowers at the scene where the incident occurred.

It was understood that Ma was raised and educated in France. She had lived in Seoul in South Korea before coming to Hong Kong for work in March 2017.

She previously had worked at an international trade and food company. She was currently the sales manager for the Asia Pacific region of a chocolate company and was posted in Hong Kong when the tragedy happened.

Ma had uploaded photos on her Facebook showing her outgoing side, including the scenery captured by Victoria Harbor and riding on the tram to explore the city.

Many also paid their last respects to Ma and commented "R.I.P." on her Facebook, hoping her soul can now be put to rest.

As for the other victims of the incident, a 31-year-old woman is still in critical condition while another man in hospital is in stable condition.

The driver of the car, a 44-year-old Filipina, had been charged with dangerous driving causing death and appeared in Eastern Magistrates' Courts on Monday. The case has been adjourned to April 7, 2022.
