FALSE: This video doesn’t show a Kenyan man running over his wife in Texas, USA

syndicated by PesaCheck

The video is of a New Jersey man running over a woman who took photos of his vehicle as he tried to flee an accident scene.

This Facebook post with a video purportedly of a Kenyan man running down his wife in Texas, in the United States of America (USA), is FALSE.

The graphic video depicts a car chasing and repeatedly running over a woman on a lawn in what appears to be a residential area.

The post claims that the man ran down his wife after she kicked him out of his home in Texas.

But is the post authentic?

Google reverse image search on a keyframe from the video established that the incident happened in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in April 2022.

Inside Edition published the video and identified the car driver as Vincent Jean.

 

keyword search for Vincent Jean led us to this article by the Union County prosecutor’s office confirming that Jean hails from New Jersey.

Witness reports captured by the prosecutor’s office indicate that Jean and the lady were involved in a car accident, but the man tried fleeing the scene, prompting the victim to take photos of his car.

On seeing the lady taking photos of his car, the man drove towards her and repeatedly ran over the victim before fleeing the area.

The incident was also reported by CNNNBC, and Daily Mail.

Google search for a Kenyan man running down his wife in Texas, USA, did not yield credible results. India Today debunked a similar claim and found it to be fallacious.

PesaCheck examined a Facebook post with a video purportedly of a Kenyan man running down his wife in Texas, in the United States of America (USA), and found it to be FALSE.
