A woman who sits in parliament in Australia was struck by a car driver, and the circumstances are being taken seriously. The suspect was arrested at the scene, according to a report carried by Australia's ABC News. What is still unknown is the motive, which investigators will try to establish as the inquiry unfolds. The headline on the story puts the sharpest question outright: was this an attempt to assassinate an MP? There was no drawn-out search, because the driver was taken into custody where it happened. The short report offers nothing on the politician's condition or on any reaction from her office.
