A 60-year-old California woman ran down her estranged husband and two of his friends before jumping to her …
The driver, identified by the East Bay Times as Kimberly Goldman of Concord, deliberately mowed down the trio as they left a family court hearing at a courthouse in the Bay Area town of Martinez around 10:30 a.m., police said in a news release.
Witnesses said Goldman sped up as she spotted her ex-husband and his two friends cross a street outside the courthouse. After striking them at high speed, Goldman allegedly backed up, striking one of the victims a second time before fleeing the scene.
The three victims were taken to an area hospital with moderate injuries. A police spokesman would not immediately identify the victims when reached by the Daily News, but confirmed they're all expected to survive.

The driver deliberately mowed down the trio as they left a family court hearing.
(Nate Gartrell/Bay Area News Group)"Based on all indications, it appears the female who jumped from the bridge was also the driver of the vehicle who struck the pedestrians," Martinez police commander Eric Ghisletta said.
Witnesses reportedly tried to break Goldman's driver-side window after she struck the pedestrians, but were unable to as she sped away from the scene.
After the deliberate collision, the woman jumped off the Benicia Bridge and killed herself.

"It was deliberate. You can tell it was," she said. "It scared the s--t out of me. It was chaos. An officer came running out of the courthouse, and I screamed for him to get help."
