A FedEx driver has a bad day:

Doesn't say what he did but with the lights on, he may have left it
running. When I turn my car off, it locks in park.

Back where I worked, employees running shuttles or delivery vehicles
were not only required to shut them off when they left them but if on a
hill, chock the wheels.

We had a contractor with a construction vehicle come in and hope out of
the truck while it was running and it went backward and took out 4 cars.

I've reported workers doing this in hilly area where I live and in a
park I frequent.
