Fullerton : Man Allegedly Ran Car Over Wife, Police Report
A 29-year-old Fullerton woman was in critical condition at UCI Medical Center late Saturday after her husband allegedly ran over her in the couple’s car after an argument, police said.
Police received reports about 2:15 a.m. Saturday of a woman screaming in the 2400 block of West Oak Avenue. When officers responded, they found Carmen Garcia lying in her driveway, Sgt. John Shell said. “It looked like she had been run over with a car,” a police spokesman said. “She was in bad shape.”
A short time later, police arrested Antonio C. Garcia on suspicion of attempted murder. The couple reportedly had argued earlier, police said.
Carmen Garcia was treated for internal injuries, broken ribs and a crushed pelvis, a hospital spokeswoman said.
