A 44-year-old woman in New Zealand ran over her boyfried several times after he told her he was leaving her, Sky News reported Tuesday.
The incident took place in the Hamilton Waikato area of North Island, the area where the "Lord Of The Rings" and "The Hobbit" were filmed.
An eyewitness said that he heard the couple arguing and "then the woman ran him over".
"The first time we thought it was just an accident, but then the second time we knew it wasn't," Kanj Patel was quoted as saying by Liveleak.com. A CCTV camera installed at the spot has recorded the incident.
Witnesses said the woman then drove over a bank and into the Waikato River, but freed herself from the car as it was sinking.
Police were soon on the scene and the woman was brought ashore. While the man is being treated for his injuries, the woman has been sectioned in hospital.
