Multiple people, including children, were seriously injured after a vehicle crashed through a building where a child's birthday party was being held, authorities said.

A 66-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene, police said.

Two children are dead and 15 people were injured after a woman drove her car into a child’s birthday party, Sheriff Troy Goodnough said in a press conference Saturday evening.

The two children who were pronounced dead at the scene were siblings, an 8-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy, according to police.

    Uber exists.

    Lack of public transportation options are not a viable excuse for driving a vehicle drunk.

    If you choose to put alcohol into your body without an “exit plan” then at no point does any other entity own that choice and the consequences of that choice.s

    Yes, fuck cars, fuck the lack of public transportation and all of that.

    Your point has no reason being here though.

      I don’t disagree with any of your points. I just also believe that this happens less when there is less dependency on cars. The driver is still at fault, but just blaming her doesn’t prevent this from happening again in the future.

        NJB has a video on cars hitting buildings. Pretty obviously, less people driving makes less people hit buildings. In this case it may not be the cause, but as a statistic, I would say that proper planning would help to reduce this type of accident.
