3 Children Escape Pontiac Apartment After Pickup Truck Crashes In

Early on May 17, a pickup truck crashed into the living room of an apartment on Firelite Lane in Pontiac, Michigan, where three children—a 13-year-old girl and two 10-year-old boys—were present. The children had just returned to the apartment to retrieve personal belongings before going back to their babysitter across the street when the truck smashed through the front door and window, forcing them to escape by breaking out another window. They sustained minor scrapes from flying debris but did not require hospitalization. The 36-year-old female driver fled the scene carrying her dog but was apprehended by bystanders and a security guard shortly thereafter. Despite denying involvement, she was arrested on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and later released pending toxicology results. Authorities are reviewing the case for potential charges once the test outcomes are available.
