Daughter Hits Mother With Car And Flees In Beverly Hills: Police

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — A mother-daughter argument took a terrifying turn Tuesday in Beverly Hills when the daughter allegedly hit her mother with a car and then dragged her several feet, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department. Police are still looking for the daughter, who allegedly fled the scene after stopping to grab her purse, but not to help her mom, witnesses said.

The incident happened around 6 p.m. Tuesday in a popular shopping area near the famed Spago restaurant in the 200 block of North Canon Drive.

"At some point, the mother was either pushed or got out of the vehicle," BHPD Capt. Lincoln Hoshino told NBC4. "As the other family member drove away, she (the mother) tried to hang on to the vehicle."

The woman was dragged 10 feet before falling and the daughter drove a short distance away, then turned around to retrieve an item in the street, NBC4 said.

"Witnesses described it as a purse or bag," Hoshino said. "She did not stop to render aid and she left the scene."

Responding officers arrived found the victim, who had suffered non- life threatening injuries, according to Lt. Elisabeth Albanese of the Beverly Hills Police Department. She was hospitalized in unknown condition with head and leg injuries, NBC4 said.

A detailed description of the suspect or the vehicle used in the incident was not immediately available.
