Woman pushed out of moving vehicle

By Steve Lombardi

Elgin, Iowa - June 2009 - This is the second news report I've seen lately about men getting mad at their girlfriends and pushing them out of the car into a place of danger. In the latest instance a 59-year-old man was charged with domestic assault after police were notified of a woman lying in the roadway about 3 miles south of Elgin. It's alleged the car was traveling about 40 mph when the woman was pushed out. There is no report on how or why she was ejected. The woman was taken to the hospital, the man to the Fayette County jail.

In the other incident the woman was killed. Here is what we reported.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida – January 2009 – From Chalik & Chalik along with the Sun Sentinel we bring you this January 22, 2009 report of pedestrian mayhem in the sunny state of Minnie and Mickey.

In this blog report, be discerning about what you read because some appears not to be accurate; the report mentions a different way a pedestrian was injured. It seems that a woman and her boyfriend were driving on or somewhere near Interstate Highway 595 while having an argument. The boyfriend, apparently had had enough, got really mad and kicked her out of the car.

She was probably just as angry, not thinking with a clear head and mad at the world allowed her emotions to take over paying attention to what was going on around her. A detective driving along on the highway must have struck her with his cruiser. She survived.

Okay if you're angry with a passenger it's probably better to stop for gas, ask them to go into the convenience store for gum and then while they are inside drive away, leaving them safe and not so happy at the soda machine. Of course turn off your cell phone and call their mother telling them their location, so they can be picked up. Guys, get a grip. You can win the argument and end up in prison for stupidity.

I'm not even sure her injuries would be covered by an auto policy.
