California teen runs over woman with car after she confronts him about stealing at high school: officials

A California woman is in critical condition after a teen ran her over with a car in a high school parking lot while she was trying to confront him about stealing from a concession stand Friday, officials said.

Lisa Solis followed the teen after she saw him take candy from the concession stand during a basketball game at Thousand Oaks High School about 8:15 p.m. Friday, FOX11 reported. Solis attempted to stop the 16-year-old student in the school’s parking lot and stood in front of his car to prevent him from fleeing the area.

The teen, however, continued to drive, hitting Solis and running her over. Police said he narrowly missed Solis’ head. The 50-year-old mother was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. She remains in critical condition as of Saturday night, FOX11 reported.
