A San Antonio mother and father are recovering after a late-night family dispute turned into a driveway disaster, when their daughter's boyfriend jumped into his girlfriend's car and backed into them just after midnight Monday. Police say the mother was rushed to a hospital with head injuries, while the father suffered a broken leg. The boyfriend took off, and officers are still working to track him down.
What Happened
As reported by WOAI, the confrontation unfolded just after midnight outside a home off Blue Oak Lane, near Pinn and Marbach Roads. According to police, the boyfriend ran out of the house and climbed into his girlfriend's car while her parents tried to stop him, opening both doors as they confronted him. When he threw the car into reverse, the open doors swung and hit the couple, leaving both parents injured.
Injuries and the Search
Authorities said the mother suffered head injuries serious enough to require transport to a hospital, while the father was left with a broken leg. As WOAI noted, police are actively looking for the boyfriend. Investigators told the station they know who he is and what car he was driving, and they expect that information to help them locate him.
