- Woman who hit man’s friend escapes prison
- The man was left barren with a broken neck and ribs
Shocking footage has captured the moment a mother of two hit her husband’s boyfriend while drunk and high on cocaine.
Lisa Jane Chapman drove a Holden Commodore over the 26-year-old man in the driveway of her home in Eyre, north Adelaide, on June 5, 2021.
The man was left with a broken neck, ribs and teeth and an inability to have children.
Chapman faced court Tuesday, where she received a three-year, one-month sentence, with a $1,000 suspended prison sentence, three years for good behavior.

The court heard that Chapman had been drinking and using cocaine with her husband and the victim prior to the incident.
She hadn’t heard the victim’s screams because it was drowned out by loud music playing in the car, which caused her to run over the man twice.
Footage from the night showed the white Holden Commodore pulling down the driveway as the man stood in front of the vehicle.
Moments later, he was seen lying on the road as the car parked in front of him.
Chapman’s blood alcohol content was estimated at the time to be between 0.076 and 0.133.
In the 26-year-old’s victim statement, the man wrote that he had to get pins and bolts in his neck after the incident.
“I could have been quadriplegic or paraplegic. I was told I had been placed in an induced coma,” the statement reads. The advertiser reported.
“I had broken teeth, moving was unbearable, and breathing through all my broken ribs was unbearable.
“I was told I would never be able to have children again, and that’s something I wanted to do if I ever got lucky in love again.”
The man also has 50 percent mobility in his neck and can only walk a few hundred meters at a time.
“She is able to move on with her life, have more children and put all this behind her, but life will never be the same for me,” the statement read.

Chapman’s attorney Benjamin Armstrong told the court that his client felt the bump when he drove over the victim but did not know what had happened.
She pleaded guilty to one charge of causing serious harm by dangerous driving.
During sentencing hearings, an apology was also read by Mr. Armstrong on behalf of his client.
“I should never have been behind the wheel that night,” the court heard.
“Please accept my sincere apologies, although I know an apology will never be enough to make this better.”
Chapman was sentenced to three years and one month in prison with a non-parole period of one year and seven months.
The sentence was suspended on $1,000 bail, three years for good behavior due to the bizarre nature of the crime and high likelihood of rehabilitation.
Chapman also had her driver’s license suspended for 10 years.
“As evidenced by driving a vehicle abusively when it is compromised, it increases the likelihood of harming others,” Judge Michael Durrant said.
“The CCTV footage of this crime is disturbing, the impact on (the victim) was immediate, deliberate and changed his life for the worse.”
