Police: Woman hit teens after golf ball struck car
Tuesday, December 7, 2004 Posted: 8:07 AM EST (1307 GMT)

ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida (AP) -- A woman ran over two teenage brothers after they accidentally hit her sport utility vehicle with a golf ball they were bouncing in a parking lot, officials said. One of the boys suffered life-threatening injuries.

The 14- and 16-year-old 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 started to drive away, but 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 Marshman, 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 of the car and smoked a cigarette with the boys lying on the ground in pain.

"She charged them. This was the most deliberate act," witness Russell McPhee said. "After she ran them down, she got out of the car and lit a cigarette like a movie star."

Isiah Grayer, 14, was in critical condition Monday. Justin Marshman, his stepbrother, was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Brent Woolbright of the St. Johns County Public Defender's Office said he was assigned Allen's case Monday and was trying to get all the facts.

"I talked to her, and her story is a little different that what was reported," he said.

Allen told the court she has mental problems. A judge ordered her held without bail Monday on three counts of attempted murder.

dude, what is WITH you ppl and deciding that since ONE person was stupid enough to do it, we should blanket the whole group of people (in this case women) with a generalization??

THERE ARE STUPID PEOPLE OUT THERE, AND THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. THIS DOES NOT MEAN, THAT ANYONE WHO IS SIMILAR IN ANY WAY TO THOSE PEOPLE IS STUPID ALSO.

I think it isn't fare to generalize every girl either....Theres as much stupid boys that don't know how to drive then Girls...
But I do admit that alot of girls are too fearfull on the road, and tend to make mistakes more easily...but still generalizing isn't fare at all..!

I've never seen this tested, but I've always wondered.....

If you're running away from a car driving at you, wouldn't it make sense to jump on its hood? You'd think it would alleviate the impact a little bit... I'm always thinking that whenever I'm watching a car-chasing-person scene in the movies....

how about 'another reason why mentally ill people shouldn't drive'

See, it'd be nice to dispell this that easily....

But come on. It's a soccer mom road raging with an SUV. How many times do we need to hear this fucking story repeat itself? Fuck, even The Simpsons made an episode about this.

CANYONERO!
