A Florida woman who was involuntarily committed to drug rehab escaped the hospital before she carjacked a 70-year-old man and ran him over with his own vehicle twice, police say.

It happened just after noon on Saturday at Tampa General Hospital in Brooksville. According to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office, several people called 911 for a hit-and-run crash in the parking lot. Hospital staff told deputies a woman, later identified as 41-year-old Lisa Nicosia, had been taken to the emergency room earlier in the day under the Marchman Act, which allows a spouse, relative or friend to petition a court to involuntarily commit someone to drug rehab.
