CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS — Corpus Christi police say there will be no charges filed after a compact SUV ran over a grandmother.

The incident happened near the intersection of Carver Drive and Baldwin Boulevard around 4:45 pm Friday.

According to the police, a grandmother was walking in the crosswalk with her granddaughter. The granddaughter made it to the sidewalk before the grandmother could.

Seconds later, a compact SUV making a left onto Baldwin struck the grandmother at a slow speed and ran over the grandmother.

The grandmother suffered severe injuries, but medics told investigators the injuries appear to be non-life threatening.
