CARROLLTON, Texas — A North Texas woman allegedly stabbed her husband and then drove into a retention pond with her three children inside the car, according to the Carrolton Police Department.
Police said officers on Friday afternoon were still investigating a domestic violence incident involving a man stabbed with a knife in the 4400 block of Tall Knight Lane, as well as a related accident where someone drove a vehicle into a retention pond near the 900 block of Hebron Parkway in Lewisville.
Carrollton police, along with Carrollton Fire Rescue, responded to a call at 7:48 a.m. Friday from a man alleging he had been stabbed by his wife. Carrollton Fire Rescue transported him to a local hospital for further treatment. As of Friday afternoon, officials said he is expected to survive.
