You think your family has drama?A Chetumal man, allegedly fleeing police after beating up his ex-girlfriend, ended a frantic car chase in the most horrifying way imaginable: by running over his own mother as she tried to help him escape.

The shocking incident unfolded in the Marsella neighborhood when cops were pursuing a grey vehicle driven by a man accused of domestic violence. As the suspect raced home in a bid to evade the authorities, his mother rushed out to open the gate for him.
