ABINGDON — A delivery driver was run over by her car as it was being stolen from her in Abingdon Wednesday night.
At about 10:12 p.m., deputies assigned to the Southern Precinct of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 300 block of Logan Court in Abingdon for the report of an assault and motor vehicle theft.
When deputies arrived, they found the woman being treated by medics for injuries to her lower body.
