Sandy Telford ran over her husband, Terry, as she backed down the driveway
of their rural property in the Hawke's Bay region, 350 kilometres (220

over him again.
Police said the woman was distraught and too

police spokesman told the newspaper.

the husband suffered moderate head, chest and back injuries, but was
"conscious and talking" after the incident.

him a third time pmsl.....
