Gold Coast woman jailed for running down friend over social media video

A Gold Coast hairdresser is tonight behind bars after running down a man in Broadbeach over a video on social media.

Karla Condon was upset because a video posted to social media by a friend showed she had gone out when she'd told other friends she was staying in.

Enraged, she sent a threatening text that said "I swear to God, you're gone mate".

About 15 minutes later, she made an abrupt U-turn at a busy Broadbeach intersection, mounted a traffic island and bowled the man over.

As he got up, she reversed before taking off.

A court was today told she knew the victim well and had dropped him off at the casino earlier that night.

The magistrate found her actions were deliberate and premeditated and sentenced her to 12 months in jail.

She'll be released on parole in three months.
