Cars can become weapons, sometimes deadly ones, as a case in Wallingford, Connecticut illustrates. A 24-year-old woman has been charged with first-degree assault and other crimes after she allegedly struck a man with a Chevy Camaro during some kind of dispute.
Deliberately using a vehicle to harm someone transforms an ordinary car into an instrument of violence. The serious charges reflect the gravity of the allegations and the very real danger such an act poses to anyone in the vehicle’s path.
