HOUSTON (KTRK) - A woman was caught on camera driving over grave markers at Houston National Cemetery on Mother’s Day.

The roads in the cemetery were lined with cars with people present for the Lone Star Flight Museum flyover, but one driver stuck out.

“That’s when she decided to jump up on the curb the first time and drive across graves to drive around the truck,” Amanda Hill said.

A woman behind the wheel of a red minivan, with a man in the passenger seat, were apparently in a hurry to leave. Not far away, Jeremiah Johnston heard a commotion and shot video that shows the driver taking a path through the cemetery and right over the graves.

Hill said the driver ran over lots of graves, “dozens - between all three times that she went through, probably dozens.”

The Hill family stood their ground, protecting the grave of Air Force 1st Lt. Robert Eugene Marsh and his wife Ruth. Amanda Hill’s grandfather, Marsh was a WWII veteran, part of the division known as the Bloody Hundred that flew bombing runs over Germany.

She and her mother stood in front of the van to protect the grave.
