During a family quarrel, the husband ran over his wife with an SUV in front of the children

A 41-year-old woman is hospitalized in critical condition after her husband hit her with an SUV. According to police, the collision was intentional, and the couple's three children were in the car at that moment. The details of the incident were told by the publication NBC.

Police were called to a house on Franklin Avenue in Queens around 5:30 a.m. on December 27. When they arrived at the scene, the police found the woman injured. The Ford Explorer SUV rolled over on its side after hitting a woman.

The 36-year-old driver has been arrested. The couple's three young sons - aged 6, 9 and 11 - were in the car at the time of the incident. The boys were not physically hurt, but their emotional state after what they saw raises questions.

A criminal case has been opened against the driver, the police are investigating the incident as domestic violence, and are studying all the facts in order to bring the most appropriate charges against the man.
