2 Teens Run Over After Golf Ball Strikes SUV
A woman ran over two teenagers after they accidentally hit her sport utility vehicle with a golf ball they were bouncing in a parking lot, officials said Monday.
Isiah Grayer, 14, was listed in critical condition. Justin Marshman, 16, his stepbrother, was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
The boys were bouncing the golf ball in a shopping center parking lot Sunday afternoon when it went astray and struck the SUV driven by 47-year-old Kathy Feaganes Allen, Sheriff’s Deputy Greg Suchy said.
No damage was done, and the boys apologized and began to walk away, Suchy said. Allen suddenly made a U-turn, ran over a median and struck the teens before knocking over a light pole, Suchy said.
“I tried to run. I blacked out. I woke up bleeding,” Justin, 16, told the Florida Times-Union.
She then allegedly went after a third brother but did not hit him. A witness said that after the SUV came to rest, Allen got out and smoked a cigarette.
A judge ordered Allen held without bail Monday on three counts of attempted murder.
