A woman was filmed running over her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend, before posing for a selfie beside her impact-damaged car, police say.

Courtnay Danielle Lawrence, 22, reportedly plowed into Christina Benson and her unnamed ex in Wilmington, North Carolina, last week, with a video showing Benson flying into the air.

Lawrence’s boyfriend escaped unharmed. Benson was badly bruised from the attack, but managed to escape far more serious injury by putting her hands out to break her fall.

Sorry, this video isn't available any more.

Shockingly, Lawrence posted a photo of herself sprawled across the hood of her freshly damaged Hyundai shortly after, with that snap triggering a huge hunt for the alleged hit-and-run driver.




Recalling the impact, Benson told ABC7: ‘I mean, I put my hands up just in time.

‘Had I hit that concrete without having them there, I don’t know that i would be. I don’t know that I would be here.

‘I came down on my shoulder and I just busted the side of my head. But because my hand was there, it didn’t have full impact, thank God.’

Benson also told of her shock when Lawrence pulled over after, demanded to know where her ex-boyfriend went – then sped off again.

She said: ‘I thought, for sure, this person would be like, “Oh, my God, I lost control. I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hit you. This looks crazy. Can I help you?”

‘No. No. She pulled up beside me and slammed on the brakes and said, “Where did he go?” and I was like, “I don’t know”.

‘I’ve never seen her before. But I’ll never forget her face.’

Lawrence is currently being sought by police, who have offered a $5,000 reward for information that leads to her capture.
