A female was taken to hospital with minor injuries after becoming trapped under a runaway van.

Police say the owner of a van that was parked at the top of the hill at the Signal Point Trailer Park reported that somehow it started rolling down the hill.

The passenger door was open and, as it started to roll away, trapped a female under the van. She was dragged for approximately 90 feet down the hill and sustained injuries to her face, legs, and arms.

A second female was in the rear of the van with her seat belt on.

The van eventually hit a ditch and crashed into a chain link fence by Signal Point. The female passenger was uninjured. The female who was pinned under the door of the vehicle sustained minor injures. She was taken to Cariboo Memorial Hospital by Emergency Health Services for treatment.
