A mother of three young children was dragged to her death by an SUV in front of her eight year old daughter. Kristina Purdin Dunn, 28, died in the hospital on Monday after a horrific incident which was watched by her eight-year-old daughter Morgan. Mrs Dunn also leaves two sons – Jonathan, ten, and five-year-old Brandon.

Her husband, Mike Dunn, said the driver sped off after an argument about a $130 bill outside their home in Middletown, Ohio. Mr. Dunn was with his wife beside the truck and was arguing with driver Dustin Watkins who wanted  money for a paint job he had not finished, according to WLWT.

As female passenger Maria Misquez screamed at Watkins to leave, Mrs Dunn’s arm became tangled in a seatbelt, causing her to be pulled along side the SUV before being run over.

Mrs Dunn was dragged 40 feet by Watkins, 27, who was behind the wheel of a dark green Chevy Tracker.

The driver, Dustin Watkins was charged with tampering with evidence, fleeing the scene of a crime, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Maria Misquez has been charged with complicity to fleeing the scene of an accident.
