"Annamarie Thammala and Veronnica Pansanouck were crossing First Street in Napa on Nov. 25, 2024, and were about to step onto the far sidewalk when Thomas ran them over at a high rate of speed in his 2023 Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV, according to authorities. Thomas, then 78, was making a right turn from a stop sign at School Street, and according to an investigative report prepared by the Napa Police Department, mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brake."
"Thammala, 29, was thrown into the air and crushed beneath a tree that had been severed by the vehicle, according to the plaintiffs. She suffered multiple fractures, including spinal injuries that have left her paralyzed from the waist down. Pansanouck, 31, wound up pinned underneath the vehicle; she sustained multiple spinal fractures in her back and legs, requiring several surgeries. Both women continue to receive treatment for their injuries and will require lifelong medical care, according to a press release distributed by Habbas"
