Tumbarumba's Alysha Julie Oliver, 30, appeared in Wagga District Court on Monday when she pleaded guilty to two counts of using a car as an offensive weapon causing grievous bodily harm.
Court documents state that in November 2017, the parents of Oliver's ex-partner were at the back of their Coolamon house when they saw Oliver, who drove from Tumbarumba that morning, in her ute coming up the driveway.
She was yelling "run, Alysha's coming" before she deliberately crashed into a stationary HiLux, which then struck the female victim's back.
Oliver then drove her car towards the victim, pinning her against the HiLux.
The victim, who suffered back and abdomen injuries, managed to get free and saw Oliver at the wheel with "a blank look on her face".
Oliver then drove towards the male victim, but he was able to jump out of the way. He then used a metal pipe to smash the driver's window, wounding Oliver's arm.
She then left the premises before calling triple zero, saying she had only "squished them a little bit".
Oliver had earlier sent about 30 text messages about harming her ex-partner and his parents. In one, she wrote: "I'm in Coolamon going to kill your hole [sic] family."
Oliver initially pleaded not guilty to the charges and two attempted murder charges.
Her trial was set to begin today, but the two latter charges were dropped after negotiations between counsels.
Oliver was remanded in custody and is set to be sentenced on Friday.
