Ever Want to Just Slap Somebody?

[Daisy and Delilah]

Holy Cow!! Let me at her!! What a raving lunatic. My Mother is 81 and still drives. I would have to do serious harm to someone if they hurt my Mom like that

[Medusa]

The article said that she expressed remorse. Where? When? She has more than road rage. This girl is going to end up doing something even more heinous to someone else, just wait.

I agree with Medussa. This woman is totally deranged, nobody in their right mind would abuse another human this way, especially an elderly woman. I hope they lock her up for a long ime.

Actually - aside from the injuries that 19-year-old idiot inflicted, the elderly driver Evelyn looks pretty healthy.

Beaten Driver, 81, Says She Couldn't Understand Rage
Hospitalized Woman Recalls Encounter; 19-Year-Old Under Arrest

INDIANAPOLIS -- An 81-year-old woman who says a motorist exited a vehicle and beat her in her car says she can't understand why the attacker became so angry.



Lying in a hospital bed Thursday, Evelyn Page recalled the Wednesday morning attack that left one of her legs broken in 14 places.

"She thought I pulled out in front of her and went slow. I said that's the first time anyone ever told me I went too slow. They always say I go too fast," Page told 6News' Jack Rinehart.

Police said Page was driving in the 6200 block of South Meridian Street on Wednesday morning when 19-year-old Jessica Vasquez -- believing Page had cut her off -- drove around her and slammed on her brakes, forcing Page to stop.

Vasquez then exited her car, opened the driver's-side door of Page's car and began beating her, police said.

"She just reached right in and punched me with her fist," Page said.

Page said Vasquez demanded her keys and driver's license. Page said she left her vehicle to try to escape from Vasquez.

"When I did, she either hit me or she shoved me, and I went backwards and I fell, and my leg went underneath me," Page said, explaining her leg injuries.

Witnesses followed Vasquez's car as she sped away and were able to give police a license number, allowing officers to arrest Vasquez Wednesday night on preliminary charges of battery and criminal confinement, authorities said.

Vasquez expressed remorse in a profanity-laced interview with 6News as she was taken to a police station Wednesday night.

"I don't have anything to explain to you," Vasquez said. "I hope she's feeling better tomorrow."

Police said Thursday that Vasquez is a suspect in a recent armed robbery, citing surveillance video that they believe shows her. Details about the robbery weren't available.

Page has been told she will need a knee replacement because of her injuries.

"I don't know why she got so mad," Page said.

Excerpt

The incident happened in the 6200 block of South Meridian Street at 10 o'clock in the morning. Several people witnessed the attack and couldn't believe what was happening.

Heather Games was working when she and co-workers saw the attack. Games ran out into the street to help the victim.

"She was very shaken up. She just kept saying, 'The girl said I was going too slow and she wanted my information'," said Games.

Games tried to stop Vasquez but she took off.

"There's no reason the car should have stopped. She should not have confronted the lady at all. And then to attack her and now the lady is in the hospital. That's just ridiculous," said Games.



Mrs. Page will have surgery on her left knee Friday morning.

Vasquez is in jail under a $50,000 bond and two "C" felonies.
