WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Authorities say a West Palm Beach woman driving with her two young children crashed her sport utility vehicle into her estranged husband’s truck, causing it to flip over.

The Florida Highway Patrol reports that 29-year-old Melissa Ann Gonzales chased her husband’s truck down Interstate 95 in Palm Beach County Sunday night. Troopers say Gonzales rammed the truck, which held her husband and another woman, and caused it to flip over. After the crash, authorities say Gonzales reportedly got out of her vehicle and began yelling at the man and woman in the overturned truck. Only minor injuries were reported.

Gonzales was charged with two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of aggravated child abuse. She was released from jail Monday on $10,000 bail.
