Man Arrested for Domestic Violence after Hitting Wife with Truck

A case of domestic violence turned fatal last week in Las Vegas, Nevada. What started out as a fun day of shopping and dining turned into a major accident that took the life of a woman.

Officers were called to a parking lot where a woman was seen pounding on the window of a pickup truck. Eyewitness reports then state that the man inside the vehicle became enraged and struck his wife with his truck. Allegedly he drove over her body and then left the parking lot. Luckily, several people were on hand to record his license plate which helped police identify their suspect.

When officers finally caught up with the man, he told them that his wife had started the fight. She had accused him of infidelity and in his own anger he hit her with his truck. While he did not mean to kill her, the woman did die hours later due to a severe head injury.
