Mitchell Woman Accused of Trying to Kill Man with a Vehicle

MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) — A Mitchell woman is accused of trying to kill a man with a vehicle.

Authorities allege that 38-year-old Roberta Woodside hit a 40-year-old man walking in a field about 2:00 AM Wednesday, turned the vehicle around and hit him a second time, then drove over him before leaving the scene.

The man was taken to a hospital with broken bones. He hasn't been identified and his condition isn't known. Police say it appears the man was in the car with Woodside before the incident and that the two know one another.

Woodside is charged with aggravated assault and attempted murder. It's not clear if she has an attorney.
