The investigation continues into an incident on Valentine’s Day at City Walk Apartments in which a woman and her daughter were run over by a driverless car.

The victims, Angelia Burke, 50, and Alicia Burke, 32, were both injured when they were struck by a 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser owned by Vickie Alvis. The elder Burke was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville for treatment of serious injuries while her daughter was treated at St. Thomas DeKalb.

According to Highway Patrolman Bobby Johnson, the incident happened just before 3 p.m. on Feb. 14 in front of City Walk Apartments. Witnesses said there had been an argument involving the Burkes and Alvis and at some point the Cruiser was put into reverse and began rolling.

The PT struck Angelia Burke and then hit Alicia Burke, knocking them both to the ground,” the trooper revealed, noting the driverless car continued backing counter-clockwise. “The car then continued, striking another vehicle and then coming back around to run over Angelia Burke who was still on the ground.”

The Cruiser came to rest after it struck another vehicle, with the elder Burke still trapped underneath its weight. A jack had to be used to free her from the entrapment beneath the wreckage.

Johnson said the incident remains under investigation with charges pending.
