Man Ran Over by Van Driven By Wife into the House

July 8, 2009

Fresno – A 37-year old woman accidentally ran over her husband when she pressed the accelerator instead of the brake and crashed into their apartment.

According to Police Detective Armando Echevarria, the woman was trying to park her Chrysler Town and Country van into a parking space at her apartment when the accident occurred. The vehicle tore through the wall and got into the apartment.

California Fire paramedics and other rescuers who responded to the accidents used the Jaws of Life to extricate the man. Authorities report that fortunately, the injuries the husband incurred were not life-threatening. He was flown to a hospital in Modesto as a precaution.

Authorities further added that the victim was alert and talkative through the ordeal. The victim was alert and talkative throughout the ordeal. Also, since neither drugs nor alcohol appeared to be a factor in the crash, the woman will not be facing criminal charges.
