Husband runs over wife with car

BEAUMONT — A Beaumont woman is dead after being struck by a truck her husband was driving.

Police say Brenda LaRocca died from injuries sustained after her husband backed his 2004 pick-up truck over her in the couples’ Longwood Street driveway. The accident happened shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday.

EMS transported LaRocca to a local hospital where she later died.

The Beaumont Police Department is investigating the incident.



One-car accident ejects driver

BEAUMONT — John Michael Bohler, 24, was ejected from his vehicle Thursday after striking a curb on Dowlen Road.

Beaumont police officers say the accident occurred at 3:!0 a.m. in the 2300 block of Dowlen Road. Bohler, a resident of Hardin County, was discovered by police suffering from critical injuries.

Police believe the accident happened when Bohler’s 1996 GMC pick-up truck left the roadway — striking the curb on the inside median. The vehicle turned sideways and began to flip, finally coming to rest in the canal.

At this time, there is no indication as to what caused the wreck. BPD is continuing to investigate the accident.
