An Indiana man trying to escape police rammed his car into his own mom — sending the older woman flying several feet into the air, shocking new video shows.
JaJuan Burley allegedly refused to pull over for police Friday morning and led authorities on a 20-minute, high-speed chase in Fort Wayne, about two hours north of Indianapolis, according to a report.
Burley, 38, ended up driving to the home of his mom, Juanita Gray, where he stopped in front and exchanged something with the woman before trying to speed off, WTPA reported.
But as he accelerated, he somehow struck the 57-year-old, sending her soaring, according to the video, which was posted on X by @layxsnv.
“in Fort Wayne … a man just ran his mom OVER,” @layxsnv wrote with the clip, which shows a black car make a sudden start and Gray, in a maroon shirt and black pants, in the air.
An officer was grazed in the incident.
