On November 3, 2025 I had an accident/event in my KIA Niro. At 2:20 I had been sitting in my car with the engine running and the gear was in (P) park. I was on an incline. When I saw the child I was babysitting âs bus arrived, hopped out of the car (it was still running) and walked behind the car, and stood waiting for him.
