Woman drives car at worker in protest against school demolition.
It’s always fascinating to watch a demolition professional analyse a working site. Equipped with a combination of peripheral vision and a sixth sense, they’re able to spot danger before it even exists; homing in on potential falling debris, improperly secured scaffolding and unseen excavations.
But few would have spotted the potential danger of an elderly lady who last week took it upon herself to halt demolition of an Indiana school by attempting to mow down one of the demolition workers in her car. Scott Minnich was working to demolish the McIntosh School in Auburn last week when an angry citizen tried to run him over with her car. Minnich told NewsChannel 15 Knapp drove into the parking lot and when he started walking toward her car to tell her she had to leave, she “came at him” twice.
In a police report, Knapp admitted trying to run over the construction worker saying, “They should be run over.” The officer asked her why and she replied, “Because they are tearing down the school.”
Perhaps more worryingly, Minnich said in the 30 years he’s worked construction jobs, he’s almost been hit by cars about a dozen times!
