Is it diesel? See if you can stall it to stop it, otherwise you might have to block the air intake to choke it

May well be a faulty ignition switch. Worth a check I would say.

Had this problem with my old car (mini cooper) turns out water had gotten in through a leaking door seal and got into the electrics ended up costing a grand to repair it needless to say I soon got rid of it
