PARKER, Kan. (AP) — Authorities have arrested a Kansas man in the death of his 70-year-old mother, alleging that he struck her car with his pickup truck and then turned around and intentionally rammed her vehicle a second time.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation said in a news release that 42-year old James Allen, of Parker, was treated at a hospital Tuesday and then booked into jail on suspicion of second-degree murder.
No formal charges have been filed, and it’s not clear whether he has an attorney.
The collisions happened about 1/2 mile south of the small town of Parker. The KBI said that Allen left on foot and later returned in a second vehicle. By this time, EMS had responded. His mother, Charlotte Grimes, of Garnett, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The KBI said it is investigating what happened and released no details on a motive.
