Driver Plows Car Into Pair Outside South Bay Bar: Police

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — Police are seeking witnesses of an argument outside a Mountain View bar early Saturday morning that escalated into a man driving his car at two people, pinning one of them beneath it. Three people, including the driver, were injured in the incident reported at about 2 a.m. Saturday, May 26 at Sports Page Bar & Grill, 1431 Plymouth St., according to a Mountain View Police Department statement.

Officers arrived on scene and learned that prior to the incident, a man and woman were in an argument with another patron inside the bar. As the pair tried to leave they encountered the same patron in the parking lot but this time he was allegedly in his car, driving straight at them.

The suspect then allegedly hit the pair with his car, pinning the woman beneath the vehicle as he tried to drive way.

The suspect was then removed from the car by bystanders who allegedly proceeded to attack him, police said.

Meanwhile, police said, other bystanders flipped over the car and freed the trapped woman.

MVPD did not release the names of the three individuals involved but said the trio all suffered injuries and were taken to an area hospital for treatment.

"This case is still under active investigation, and as such, we are not releasing the extent of injuries or the names of any individuals involved at this time," MVPD officials said in the statement. "Because many of the bystanders and witnesses left the area prior to our arrival, we are asking for your help in having them come forward to provide additional information."

Police are asking anyone with pertinent information to call MVPD Detective Dan Garcia at 650-903-6624.
