Police: Woman ran over man who was trying to keep her from driving drunk

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Police say a 25-year-old man was killed Thursday night after trying to stop someone he knew from driving home drunk.

Employees at RakiRaki off Convoy Street said they were working when they heard commotion around 11:30 p.m. They said they stepped outside to see people arguing in the parking lot.

“The guy tried stopping her, getting her out of the car and the whole situation escalated and it became physical,” Kiana Smith said.

Smith said from what she could tell, a man was trying to stop a woman from driving drunk. She said he was hanging on to the car, but even that didn't stop the driver.

“She actually backed out of the parking lot with him still hanging on to her car and as soon as she made this right turn out of the parking lot he completely flung off it and she ran over him,” Smith said.
