Following a domestic dispute, a man was arrested after his wife sustained serious injuries when he drove off with her atop the car, as reported by Suffolk police in eastern England.
According to police, Diamond Mircea, 29, drove away with his wife on the hood of the vehicle.
At around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, an argument erupted between Mircea and his wife, Monica. In an effort to prevent him from leaving, she climbed onto the car’s roof while he attempted to drive away from their home.
Despite being intoxicated, Mircea continued to operate the vehicle, police stated. His wife remained on the roof for a short distance before she fell onto the pavement, resulting in a head injury.
Monica Mircea was taken to the hospital by ambulance, where her condition was reported as critical.
Diamond Mircea faces charges of first-degree vehicular assault and driving under the influence. He was detained overnight and was set to appear in First District Court on Monday.
