An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother were killed when a suspected drunk driver plowed into a child's birthday party at a Michigan boat club Saturday, in a devastating crash that injured 15 others.
A 66-year-old woman driving an SUV slammed into the side of the Swan Boat Club about 3 p.m. and continued about 25 feet into the building before coming to a stop, Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough said during a Saturday news conference. The driver, whom police have not publicly identified, was taken into custody on charges of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and causing death, and is expected to face additional charges. Goodnough said the driver was cooperating with investigators.
"The scene was described by the first responders as 'extremely chaotic,' with [a] high level of emotions of those directly involved and those who witnessed the horrific incident," Goodnough said.
