The 73-year-old woman hit by a stunning surfer Jill Hansen, in an incident making national news coverage, believes her alleged attacker’s motives were not rage, but theft.
"I parked in my normal parking place and I got out, and all of a sudden I woke up in an ambulance," Elizabeth Conklin, who is recovering at a Honolulu hospital after she was thrown 20 feet upon impact of being hit, told ABC News. "She saw my car, it was the car she wanted, she followed me and was going to kill me to get the car.”
Conklin said a Good Samaritan named Chris Khory “totally saved my life” after smashing Hansen’s back window as she primed to strike Conklin with the vehicle again, prompting Hansen to flee the scene.
