A 77-year-old Las Vegas man is dead after his vintage Monte Carlo, which he left running, rolled over him and dragged him across a driveway, police said.
The fatal incident took place just after 1 p.m. Sunday in the 2000 block of Quarry Ridge Street, the Las Vegas Metro Police Department said.
Police said the septuagenarian, who was identified to The Post by the Clark County Office of the Coroner Tuesday as Giuseppe Galluzzo, parked his gold 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in the driveway and got out of the vehicle while it was still running.
Galluzzo was standing behind the now-driverless car when it began rolling backward down the sloped driveway, knocking him to the ground.
The vintage car then rolled over Galluzzo and dragged him.
