An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother were killed, and at least 12 others were injured at a child’s birthday party at a boat club in Newport, Michigan, on Saturday when a drunken driver drove through the building where the celebration was taking place, authorities said.
An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother were killed, and at least 12 others were injured at a child’s birthday party at a boat club in Newport, Michigan, on Saturday when a drunken driver drove through the building where the celebration was taking place, authorities said. A 66-year-old woman, who was driving the vehicle while intoxicated, was taken into police custody and is being held at the Monroe County Jail, Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough said at a Saturday news conference. The two children were pronounced dead at the scene, he said. Nine people, including three children and six adults, were transported to hospitals with “serious life-threatening injuries,” according to Goodnough, who was visibly emotional during the news conference. The incident occurred around 3 p.m. Saturday when the vehicle drove through a building at the Swan Boat Club in Newport, which is located on Lake Erie, about 30 miles south of Detroit. “Preliminary investigation reveals that a vehicle drove through a building where a children’s birthday celebration was taking place, seriously injuring a number of people, both children and adults,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release earlier Saturday. The driver, who authorities are not yet identifying publicly, was arrested for operated while intoxicated causing death, and is likely facing additional charges as the investigation continues, the sheriff said.
