Dispute Between Central Coast Mother And Daughter Becomes Deadly

Authorities on the Central Coast are investigating a dispute between a mother and her adult daughter that turned deadly.

Santa Maria Police say their argument led to a traffic collision that ended in the daughter’s death.

"The mother tried to leave the scene and accelerated rapidly, and the daughter was thrown from the passenger side of the vehicle," said Sergeant Paul Flores. "The vehicle ran her over and killed her."

Flores says the dispute happened around noon yesterday when 55-year-old Kimberly Wilson and her 34-year-old daughter, Brandy Wilson, were in a Jeep Cherokee in a Toys R Us parking lot.

Brandy died at the scene, and her mother, Kimberly, was rushed to Marian Medical Center with injuries.

Investigators are trying to determine if drugs or alcohol were factors in the collision.
