A pregnant Illinois woman was beaten, carjacked and run over in her driveway as her car was stolen — with her 2-year-old son in the backseat, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
The incident unfolded around 3:35 p.m. on Thursday when deputies responded to a residence in the 16000 block of Route 137 in unincorporated Libertyville, about 40 minutes north of Chicago, regarding a carjacking with a 2-year-old in the vehicle.
According to a preliminary investigation, the victim, who is 34, just returned to her residence and pulled into the driveway, authorities say. She brought one of her children inside and came back to get her son when a white, 2000s model BMW with a black bumper and loud exhaust system pulled into her driveway behind her 2021 Volkswagen Atlas.
