run over
Hit with vehicle
To run over something is to pass over it with a vehicle, often causing damage or death: The truck ran over a pothole, She was run over by a bus.
Run over also means to exceed a limit, especially of time: The meeting ran over by twenty minutes.
To run over something can mean to review it quickly: Let me run over the main points.
Things that run over overflow their container: The bathtub ran over.
