Pregnant woman ran over twice by own car

A pregnant woman was injured Wednesday when her own car ran over her twice in front of a Marion convenience store.

Latricia Annette Collver, 38, of 133 Oakwell Drive was transported by ambulance to Memorial Mission Hospital in Asheville. She is 7 1/2 months pregnant, according to Officer A.E. Honeycutt of the Marion Police Department.

The accident happened at around 5:45 p.m. at KG’s Quik Stop on Rutherford Road. Collver got out of her Mitsubishi Gallant to pick up some money that another customer at the store dropped. Her car was out of gear and rolled over her foot. The car rolled over her again, hit a Dumpster and then struck a tree, according to Honeycutt.

Collver’s injuries were not life threatening. A condition report was not available at deadline.
