In what authorities allege was an attempted domestic violence murder, a Lynn elementary school teacher was arrested in Swampscott Tuesday night after she allegedly drove her vehicle into a pedestrian before speeding away.
Kimberly Ann English, 49, is scheduled to be arraigned today in Lynn District Court on a number of charges including violation of a restraining order, aggravated assault and battery with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and leaving the scene of a crash, according to Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett’s office.
English, a Swampscott resident, allegedly drove her car into an unidentified pedestrian on Magnolia Road in the North Shore town Tuesday around 7:30 p.m.
The victim was transported to North Shore Medical Center in Salem with serious injuries that were not life-threatening, according to Blodgett’s office.
English is an elementary classroom teacher at Ingalls Elementary School in Lynn, said Thomas Larrobino, Lynn school spokesman.
Larrobino said Lynn Superintendent Catherine Latham was seeking legal counsel this morning on what action to take against English.
No further details were immediately available.
