Woman Pushed From Vehicle, Then Run Over Questioned

The Wilson woman injured after she was pushed from a vehicle Monday night has been released from the hospital.

Palmer Township Detective James Alercia said Jessica Reed was released from St. Luke's University Hospital, where she was being treated for multiple abrasions to her torso and extremities.

Alerica said he had a meeting scheduled with Reed Thursday afternoon in hopes of obtaining more information about the driver and what happened during the incident.

Palmer Township police are still seeking the driver of the vehicle, described as a white late-model Dodge sport utility vehicle with tinted windows.

Reed was pushed out of a moving vehicle in the parking lot of the Palmer Park Mall and then run over by the same fleeing vehicle, police said.

The incident took place at 5:14 p.m. Monday when Palmer police were dispatched to the mall for a report of an assault in progress. Police arrived and found Reed lying in the parking lot conscious and alert.
