ProJo: Pedestrian struck by parked car in East Providence

Actually, no. Someone drove their car into another car which was then pushed into the pedestrian. The parked car did not achieve sentience and lash out at the pedestrian.

Francesconi said the car spun out of control, rolled over, and crashed into a parked Toyota Corolla. That vehicle then rolled into the 27-year-old woman, who had been walking down that street.
