Pregnant Woman Is Struck by Car After Fight
A woman who is eight months pregnant was struck Monday morning by a car driven by another woman after the two got into an argument over a traffic accident, police said.
The victim, 41, whose name was not disclosed by Los Angeles police, was reported to be in fair condition at Valley Presbyterian Hospital.
Police said the incident took place shortly after 11:30 a.m. near Sepulveda Boulevard and Vanowen Street, close to the hospital, when the victim confronted the other driver after their cars were involved in a minor accident.
Police said the driver got back into her silver Saturn, stepped on the gas and struck the victim, who landed on the hood of the Saturn, then rolled off.
Police said they knew the driver’s identity, based on reports from witnesses who provided the license plate number and other details. Late Monday, police said the woman was in custody but declined to release her name.
