A man was killed Saturday night after being run over by his girlfriend's car, according to the Phoenix Police Department.

Just after 9:30 p.m., officers responded to a domestic violence call near 35th Avenue and Thunderbird Road after the caller said she ran over her boyfriend while attempting to drive away.

Phoenix officers say they found a man, identified as 29-year-old Marceliano Herrera, lying on the roadway with a woman attempting to aid him. He was rushed to the hospital where he died from his injuries, according to authorities.

While investigating the collision, police learned from a witness that Herrera was holding on to a passenger door handle as the driver of the vehicle attempted to leave. He fell over and was then run over by the vehicle, according to Phoenix police.

The driver immediately stopped, called 911 and provided medical aid, police said. She was evaluated by detectives and did not show any signs of impairment.

The driver was released pending the conclusion of the investigation.
