Windsor Woman Seriously Injured After Being Run Over By Vehicle

A Windsor woman suffered serious injuries and was transported to the hospital by ambulance after being run over just before 3 p.m. Friday.

Police are still investigating the cause of the incident. Neither the woman's name nor the name of her husband, who is thought to have been driving the vehicle, were released by police.

 According to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office, Windsor police and fire personnel responded to a call at about 2:53 p.m. Friday on Mallory Avenue, just west of Jessica Drive, regarding a woman whom had just been run over by a vehicle.

When they arrived, they found a woman suffering from serious injuries to her head, police said. The woman was transported to the hospital for treatment, police said.

Based on the initial investigation, officers believe the woman had been in an argument inside the vehicle with her husband, who was the driver of the vehicle.

The husband pulled over to the curb to let the woman out. After she got out of the vehicle, the husband pulled forward. Just prior to pulling forward, the woman may have fell to the ground and was subsequently run over by the vehicle, police said.

An investigation into the incident is under way to determine if the victim fell under the vehicle accidentally, or was struck  intentionally prior to falling.

The case is being investigated by the Windsor Police Traffic Investigators, and the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Unit.

Anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident, and who may have information on what occurred is asked to call the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office Investigations Bureau at 707-565-2185.
