A 68-year-old woman died Thursday night when she was intentionally hit by a car driven by her son as she was being loaded into an ambulance, police said.
Police and Emergency Medical Services responded to a domestic disturbance call near the Lamar Plaza Shopping Center in South Austin about 7 p.m. and found a woman with minor injuries, said Cpl. Wuthipong "Tank" Tantaksinanukij.
As paramedics were loading the woman, who was on a stretcher, into the ambulance, they heard a car accelerate toward them, Tantaksinanukij said.
"They tried to get her out of the way, but the vehicle hit her and she died around 7:45 p.m.," he said. No one else was injured.
He said as the man, who is 50, attempted to drive away, he hit a marked police cruiser. He was arrested nearby.
