PEORIA, Ariz. — A 20-year-old woman from Iraq whose father allegedly hit her with his car because she had become too Westernized has died from her injuries, authorities said.
Noor Faleh Almaleki had been in a hospital since Oct. 20, when police said her father ran down her and her boyfriend’s mother with his Jeep in the west Phoenix suburb of Peoria.
Peoria police spokesman Mike Tellef said Noor died Monday. The other woman, Amal Khalaf, is expected to survive.
Family members say Faleh Hassan Almaleki attacked his daughter because she was not living according to his traditional Iraqi values.
