HESPERIA, Calif. (AP) - Investigators say a Southern California motorist ran over his wife with his sport utility vehicle before he fled the scene and died in a Mojave Desert rollover crash.
The Victorville Daily Press reports (http://bit.ly/LKXPIb) 34-year-old Kenneth Amaya Jr. was squabbling with his wife on a Hesperia roadside Saturday afternoon when he got into his GMC Yukon and ran over her.
San Bernardino County sheriff's investigators say Amaya was gone when deputies arrived.
The injured woman was airlifted to a hospital, but details about her injuries are being withheld.
A short time later, the California Highway Patrol says Amaya was driving at high-speed on Interstate 15 when he lost control of the SUV and it plummeted down an embankment.
Amaya, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, was ejected during the crash and killed.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
