Colorado Springs police say a woman who spotted her husband riding his motorcycle — with another woman as his passenger — used her car to chase, knock down and attempt to run over her husband.
Joyce Colangelo, 48, is being held on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder and driving under the influence, police spokesman Sgt. Darrin Abbink said.
The incident happened about 7:50 p.m. Thursday on South Academy Boulevard, according to Colorado Springs police.
Police said Colangelo saw her husband, Richard Roever, 48, headed the opposite direction on South Academy
“She saw him with a woman who she had never seen before and pulled a U-turn” to chase them down, Abbink said.
After Colangelo swiped the Harley-Davidson several times, it went down in the 1700 block of South Academy, police said.
Colangelo then attempted to run over Roever and his passenger, Diedre Herrera, 42, police said.
Colangelo backed off the Harley and was attempting to run over it again when a witness used his vehicle to block her car, police said.
The witness helped Roever to his car and was driving him to a local hospital when Roever got out of the car and took off.
Police later found Roever, who is wanted on a parole violation, in a hospital in Pueblo where he’s being treated for his injuries, Abbink said. Investigators are unsure how Roever got to Pueblo.
Herrera, his passenger, suffered minor bumps and bruises.
