Lawrence police arrested a man Sunday evening in connection with a hit-and-run domestic violence incident that sent a woman to a Kansas City-area hospital with serious injuries.

Sgt. Mark Warren, of the Lawrence Police Department, said officers were called at 4:34 p.m. to a residence at 1203 Almira, on the east side of the Douglas County city, after a woman was run over by a car.

Warren said witnesses indicated the woman was injured after a domestic dispute in the driveway of the residence.

The victim and witnesses identified the man who ran over the woman. Lawrence police located the man at 4:53 p.m. and arrested him in connection with aggravated domestic battery and traffic violations that stemmed from hitting a parked car.

The victim was transported by air ambulance to a Kansas City-area hospital, Warren said.

The extent of her injuries and her condition weren't available Sunday night.

Almira is a one-block street, located just east of Haskell Avenue.
