Qld driver charged with attempted murder

A woman, who allegedly ran down another woman before driving into a tree in far north Queensland, has been charged with attempted murder and dangerous driving.

Police say the women had been arguing on an Arukun street on Saturday afternoon before the woman, 29, jumped in a car and drove through a set of gates at the victim.

The car struck the woman, 23, then a tree, but neither woman was seriously injured, police said on Sunday.
