The 26-year-old male then approached the vehicle of a 50-year-old female motorist who was also traveling eastbound on Farrington Highway, and grabbed ahold of her vehicle and made multiple attempts to reach into the driver’s side window.

As the 50-year-old female motorist accelerated, the 26-year-old male fell from alongside the vehicle onto the roadway, and the 50-year-old female motorist’s vehicle drove over the 26-year-old male. The 50-year-old female motorist then fled the scene of this collision.
