Story here. Excerpt:

'A San Jose woman intentionally struck a man on a freeway connector ramp, catapulting him over a guardrail 50 feet above the ground, according to police.

The unidentified man landed in a parking lot below the ramp and is now in a coma.

Damariz Michi, 21, is expected to be arraigned Thursday on charges of attempted murder and hit-and-run resulting in permanent serious injury or death, according to Amy Cornell, a spokeswoman for the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. Michi faces a maximum sentence of 17 years, eight months in prison if convicted as charged, Cornell said.

The man had been in Michi's minivan before the incident, according to police, who are not disclosing the nature of the relationship between the two. Because the investigation is ongoing, police would not disclose the man's age, only to say he is a San Jose resident.'
