A woman driving a red minivan ran over some graves at the Houston National Cemetery. She was seen by people who went to the cemetery to attend the Lone Star Flight Museum flyover, which commemorated the end of World War II in Europe. The bizarre incident outraged families attending the ceremony and visiting their relatives’ graves, as abc13 details:
Amanda said a woman driving a red minivan was in a hurry to leave as soon as the flyover ended.
"She tried to back up, and then went up on the curb of the section where my grandparents are buried," she explained. "[The woman] couldn't get around some cars, and then she started running over the graves."
Hill said in all, the driver tried to get around the traffic jam three times.
"She went over dozens of graves by the time she finished," said Amanda.
By then, onlookers were yelling at her to stop, and 19-year-old Jeremiah Johnston was recording it on his cell phone.
"I was shocked, and never would have expected that to happen," he said. "This is Houston, and there are crazy drivers, and I never would have expected to see them going through a cemetery. Especially when everyone was there to pay their respects during a patriotic flyover."
Amanda said the driver's window was down.
"She heard us yelling at her to stop, and just kept doing it. My mother approached the van, and the driver told her she had to get out."
