<\/p>\nA 23-year-old woman is facing attempted murder charges after police say she drove the wrong way on West Chester Pike and struck her boyfriend following an argument on New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\n
Police in Upper Darby identified the suspect as Destenee Green.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the violence began after the couple argued while sitting in a Taco Bell parking lot at State Road and West Chester Pike.<\/p>\n
“He got out of the vehicle, did the right thing, knew tempers were really flaring. Got out of the vehicle and walked away,” said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt.<\/p>\n
Police say Green then drove over a sidewalk and hit the man with her 2019 Hyundai Elantra before leaving the scene.<\/p>\n
She also hit a parked tow truck, which police say lessened the impact on her boyfriend.<\/p>\n
The victim suffered cuts on his hand and road rash on his back but was able to walk away.<\/p>\n
Twelve-year-old Musa Hussain said he heard the crash from inside his father’s car shop nearby.<\/p>\n
“I just hear a crash and I look outside and he’s on the floor, the car is destroyed from the front end,” Hussain said. “If we didn’t have this truck he would have been not alive.”<\/p>\n
Bernhardt said domestic violence incidents have been on the rise in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately we’ve seen a lot of domestic violence incidents in the past month. It’s a tough time of year. I’ve said it before, I ask everyone to take a deep breath. Stay calm, walk away,” he said.<\/p>\n
Police say they have recovered Green’s car and are urging her to turn herself in. Pieces of the vehicle remain scattered in the parking lot where the crash occurred.<\/p>\n
“I just don’t want to go walking there because I always go to Taco Bell to get a drink and I don’t want to walk there anymore,” Hussain said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 23-year-old woman is facing attempted murder charges after police say she drove the wrong way on West…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":76486,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[12521,39365,39364,147,149,148,150,12263],"class_list":["post-76485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-upper-darby","tag-boyfriend","tag-domestic-violence-incidents","tag-taco-bell","tag-upper-darby","tag-upper-darby-headlines","tag-upper-darby-news","tag-upper-darby-township","tag-west-chester-pike"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76485\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
