She was listed in serious condition this morning, hospital officers said.
Andrew Frost, 39, told police that he and his wife picked up his semi-tractor on Hook Drive in Middletown. Once in the semi, they began arguing. Several times while driving through Middletown, Angela Frost threatened to jump out of the truck, her husband told police.
As they were nearing the intersection of South Verity Parkway and Yankee Road, she jumped out of the vehicle, he told police. The trailer he was hauling struck his wife, he said. He also nearly struck a pole on Yankee Road.
When he looked in his rear-view mirror, he said he saw his wife lying on the road.
Middletown paramedics transported Angela Frost to a field at Yankee Road and Curtis Street, where she was then transported by CareFlight to Miami Valley.
While interviewing Andrew Frost, Middletowm police smelled alcohol on his breath. He had bloodshot eyes and was unsteady on his feet, according to a police report.
He told police he had two drinks — a mixed drink and a beer — around 10 p.m. Thursday, four hours before the incident. He was transported to the City Jail, where he refused to perform a field sobriety test and a breath test. He was charged with OVI, first offense in six years.
His arraignment this morning in Middletown Municipal Court was continued until 9 a.m. March 11 to allow him to hire an attorney, according to court records.
