A 37-year old woman will be in court Friday morning after she finally turned herself in for allegedly ramming her car into a couple of teens.

KOMO TV reports late Thursday afternoon that the woman was transported from a precinct office downtown to be interviewed by detectives.

Witnesses said two girls were walking near Chief Sealth High School on Wednesday morning when a dog ran up and jumped on one of them so she pushed it away. Witnesses said the dog’s owner became enraged and intentionally drove her car into the girls.

A 17-year-old was treated and released at Harborview Medical Center. An 18-year-old was more seriously hurt but is expected to make a full recovery.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
