Thankfully the baby was found to be uninjured. 42-year-old Lindsay Turmelle, with suspicion of vehicular manslaughter after an investigation by the CPD Traffic Division and the California Highway Patrol’s Multi-Disciplinary Accident Investigation Team, Turmelle was officially charged. The driver pleaded not guilty. Now the police are speaking to the witnesses.

This is an awful situation that left a baby without a mom. We hope the baby finds its home and the family recovers from this awful experience.

Jesse Purser, a 13-year-old girl, was killed in a DUI in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Lewisville Middle School, the school she attended, will have a balloon vigil for her as she was well-loved around the school. Jesse was riding in a truck when the driver lost control and crashed into a lawnmower. Jessie was thrown from the truck and died. Troopers say 19-year-old Christopher Mullis was driving on Homestead Road near Rock Hill around 8:30 p.m. Saturday. They say Mullis ran off the road, and his truck hit Christopher Kernaghan, killing him. Kernaghan’s wife says her son, who was also on the lawnmower, is in the intensive care unit with serious injuries. She says her husband was the only one who worked in their home, and they need help caring for their four children. Mullis is currently in jail facing felony DUI charges.

No one should ever go through the pain of losing someone because of a DUI. Along with Jesse’s school, we are wishing well for her family as they go through this time of grief. We hope this never happens to you, but if it were to happen  A-1 Driving Schools has a great DUI school to help you through this tough time.

Around 8:30 pm., Pelham Police received a call about a car driving erratically on Dutton Road. The officers searched and found a car stopped in the middle of Deer Hill Circle. 44-year-old Jon-Brad James was found and placed under arrest after a local police officer found him “unconscious” and “slumped over the wheel” in the middle of the road on Deer Hill Circle in Pelham. On top of these two charges, he is being charged with endangering the welfare of a child. The baby was found unsecured in the back seat.

On May 24th, in Stevensville, Montana, a bus carrying children veered off the road and crashed into a serval fences. A homeowner stated she saw the bus crash into her fence, go several feet into the yard, reverse, and then overcorrect into another fence before driving away with the children still on board. The Montana Highway Patrol arrested the driver and she has pending charges like DUI and child endangerment. Fortunately, none of the children sustained injuries, but the incident has left parents understandably worried.
