The suspect, a 40 year old female of Lodi, was injured in the collision and transported to a local hospital where she is currently in serious but stable condition. At this time the victim and suspect are believed to have been in a domestic relationship, and there is currently a domestic violence restraining order in which the suspect is the restrained party and the victim is the protected party. This investigation is on-going, and it is anticipated that the suspect will be taken into custody for homicide, assault with a deadly weapon and other violations as soon as she is medically cleared for custody.
