Authorities continued to investigate the death of a 39-year-old woman who was struck and killed by her own SUV in a central Miami-Dade parking garage.

Arlene M. Allen, of Miramar, began to pull out of a parking space at Burger King’s corporate headquarters, 5505 Blue lagoon Dr., at about 6:20 p.m. on Thursday, according to Miami-Dade police.

While backing out, she hit a vehicle next to hers.

Allen stopped and got out of her BMW SUV to check the damage, police spokesman Detective Roy Rutland said.

But the woman left her SUV in reverse with the driver’s door open, he said.

The SUV struck her. It continued to roll and hit two more vehicles before it stopped, Rutland said.

The woman died in the parking lot.
