Chief Deputy Colin Severson said Lucas N. Makescoldweather  was backing out of a private driveway just before 4:00 a.m. when he backed into a parked car. Before putting the truck into drive he accelerated rapidly running over the woman. The vehicle then proceeded to drive into a nearby garage.

The woman was transported by the Mayo medical helicopter with possible life-threatening injuries.

The woman's name was not released.

Makescoldweather was arrested at the scene and jailed in Alma.
