Authorities have arrested a Kansas man in the death of his mother, 70, alleging that he struck her car with his pickup truck and then turned around and intentionally rammed her vehicle a second time.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation said in a news release that James Allen, 42, of Parker, was treated at a hospital Tuesday and then booked into jail on suspicion of second-degree murder. No formal charges have been filed, and it’s not clear whether he has an attorney.
The collisions happened about 1/2 mile south of the small town of Parker.
The KBI said that Allen left on foot and later returned in a second vehicle. By this time, EMS had responded. His mother, Charlotte Grimes, of Garnett, was pronounced dead at the scene.
