HARRISON TWP., Montgomery County — A 78-year-old woman was hospitalized Wednesday afternoon after she was pinned under her car.

According to officers, the woman was unloading groceries from the trunk of her car in the 5300 block of Susan Drive when her husband accidentally backed over her. The vehicle had to be lifted to remove the woman.

Harrison Twp. Fire Chief Mark Lynch said it does not appear that the victim was run over by the tires of the vehicle.

She was taken to Miami Valley Hospital with serious injuries. She is reportedly in stable condition and was alert and talking at the hospital.

Neighbor Larry Williamson told WHIO-TV that the husband, 83, previously hit Williamson’s truck and garage when he suffered a medical emergency while driving.

Police said this incident appears to be an accident and the husband will most likely not be charged. He may need to be re-tested for his driver’s license.
