LEIGH ACRES, Fla. — A 64-year-old Leigh Acres woman faces aggravated assault charges after deputies said she hit her daughter and son-in-law with her car on Tuesday.
Lee County Sheriff's deputies said Lisa Newsom yelled "I'm going to run him over," referring to her son-in-law, Walther Gilbert, 41.
Deputies said Newsom aimed the car at the couple and hit them, pinning her daughter, Prussia Gilbert, 33.
Local news outlets report that Prussia Gilbert remains in critical condition at a Fort Myers hospital.
Walther Gilbert told investigators that his wife told him that she was going to a party with her mother and he was pleading with her not to go when Newsom drove toward them.
Newsom remains in jail on $110,000 bail.
