A middle aged man was considerably injured when he was struck by an unoccupied vehicle that rolled down Amtmannsstígur, a steep street in downtown Reykjavík, around 10 p.m. last night. The man got stuck under the car and was dragged along until it stopped in Lækjargata, according to local news site Vísir.
It is unknown how the vehicle started rolling down the street on its own. The man was taken to hospital by ambulance. No further information on his condition was immediately available.
Amtmannsstígur runs past the north side of iconic Menntaskólinn í Reykjavík school building in downtown Reykjavík. Its peculiar name is drawn from amtmaður, the official title of one of the highest ranking officials in Iceland under Danish rule from the 17th to the start of the 20th century.
