Were they chasing after him to pay the tab? I don't understand quite... it kind of makes it seem like he waited for them and then ran them over? But if they were chasing after him that makes more sense, though the article didn't specify.

Though that is awful, I can't believe how anyone could do that over a matter of a bar tab... it's just money... now he will go to jail for, what? Attempted manslaughter? Shame people feel the need to resort to violence like this over just petty issues...
