Woman run over after calling police on couple having car sex

192. I read the article and wonder how would I react to a potential car-jacking attempt?

If a woman is is screaming at me, and trying to block me from leaving when I hadn't done anything legally wrong, do I have the right to suspect she might be trying to do me harm and try to get out of the place I am in? Especially if there is also someone behind my car?

I'll admit that were I in the driver's situation, I'd probably try to do the same thing - get the F** away from a crazy woman who might have a gun or might want my car and try not to hurt her in the process.
The woman had only minor injuries, which, according to the report happened when "the vehicle attempted to back up and pull forward to try to navigate around the victim, but she kept stepping in front of the SUV.”
Sounds as if she was injured as badly as I was I was standing on the sidewalk at a street corner, didn't pay attention and stepped out into the street against a "don't walk" sign and walked directly into a Lincoln turning right at probably 3 - 5 mph.
I got a twisted ankle and shoulder, a sore bum, and a couple dozen bruises and scrapes, and it was totally my fault because the driver actually waited to see if I was doing anything and began his turn, not expecting me to suddenly step into him.

This wasn't a Deathrace 2000 situation, where the adrenalin-crazed driver was trying to get points hitting an inconveniently positioned pedestrian in a crosswalk - this was pretty obvious from the report that the driver was attempting not to hit the woman when she jumped in front of them as they were leaving.

And yes, no matter what I had been doing before, I would have been swearing and yelling at the crazy woman who was throwing herself at my vehicle, trying to stop me and perhaps hurt me or my passenger.
Especially if I had been distastefully engaged in "risky role-play" with a freak buddy (or spouse/long-term partner) in a dodgy area where there might also be drug dealers and prostitutes...

The driver did not seem to attempt to hit her, she got herself hit. That's my read from the article.
