The driver of the vehicle subsequently fled the scene, heading towards A. Th. Illidge Road.
Several police patrols and the traffic department were dispatched to the location. Shortly thereafter, Central Dispatch received a call from a female stating that she had intentionally struck her boyfriend with the vehicle on Arch Road. The suspect also reported that she had lost control of the vehicle and caused damage to several cars near the gas station on A. Th. Illidge Road. She mentioned that her minor child was in the car during these events.
