10-year-old crashes SUV into clothing store in Rochester
A 10-year-old child accidentally crashed an SUV into a clothing store on Lyell Avenue Sunday afternoon, according to Rochester Police.
Officers responded to the 1300 block of Lyell Avenue around 3:07 p.m. for a report of a vehicle that had struck a building. They found a 2019 Jeep Cherokee had driven into the front of the Rainbow clothing store, also hitting two parked, unoccupied vehicles — a 2022 GMC Acadia and a 2018 Subaru Forester, according to police.
Police say the vehicle's occupants — a mother, her child, and another individual — had arrived at the store to shop. At some point, the child moved into the driver's seat of the parked and running SUV, shifted it into drive, and struck the two vehicles before crashing into the storefront.
No injuries were reported, and there was no major structural damage to the building.
The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

Woman, 27, and Toddler Die, 3 Others Rescued After SUV Crashes into Ohio Pond: 'Incidents Like This Impact Us All Deeply'
A woman and a toddler died after an SUV crashed into a retention pond in Ohio on June 7 Five individuals, including three adults and two children, were trapped inside the vehicle at the time of the crash An investigation into the cause of the incident is currently being conducted by the West Jefferson Police Department and the Ohio State Highway PatrolA woman and a toddler have died after an SUV crashed into a retention pond in Ohio. On Thursday, June 5, police responded to reports of 'a vehicle submerged' in the water by U.S. Route 40 and Park West Drive in West Jefferson, the West Jefferson Police Department (WJPD) said in a news release shared on Facebook. Authorities then 'initiated a water rescue' to try and save those trapped inside the car, per the WJPD. Three adults and two children were inside the vehicle at the time of the crash, according to a press release obtained by PEOPLE from the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP). The driver, Chineda Valcin, 29, was able to escape the vehicle, and another adult, Medgine Louis, 24, and a 5-year-old child were rescued before the car sank. However, a 27-year-old woman, identified as Kelita Alfred, and a 3-year-old child were pulled from the vehicle and sent to a Columbus hospital, where they were later pronounced dead, the OSHP said. Per the OSHP, Valcin was driving a 2016 Jeep Cherokee when "she traveled off the right side of the roadway, striking a ditch and coming to rest in a retention pond" around 6:30 p.m. local time. Footage released by WSYX shows police officers running across a field to rescue the individuals trapped in the vehicle in the pond. Screams can be heard in the background, while one person shouted, 'I need another life jacket!' Multiple fire departments, along with A2B Towing and Recovery, also responded to the scene to help with the rescue and assist the individuals recovered, the WJPD said. The two surviving adults were not injured, while the 5-year-old child suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Nationwide Children's Hospital for care, according to the OSHP.

"Our thoughts and heartfelt prayers remain with all those affected. Incidents like this impact us all deeply, and we stand together as a community," added Smith.

Army vet killed in crash was well-known in Tacoma motorcycle community
When a biker in Pierce County purchased a new motorcycle, they'd often find a little fish hook drawn on its mirror. Rodger Smith, who went by Dean and also was known as 'Fish Hook,' was the usual culprit. 'As soon as you went outside on the bike and looked in your mirror you realized Fish Hook was there,' Ryan Eaton, who considered Smith his best friend, told The News Tribune. 'And there were places you would go and see little fish hooks.' Eaton said seeing little fish hooks now is hard to take after Smith was killed over a week ago in a crash. Smith and his wife were riding their motorcycles on 152nd Street East in South Hill when the driver of a Jeep Cherokee reportedly struck him. Before the crash, the driver's vehicle reportedly went out of control when it exited a right-hand corner, crossed the center line and hit Smith head-on, according to charging documents. Smith was ejected from his bike and died upon impact, documents show. Pierce County prosecutors charged Christy Lynn Carter, 42, with vehicular homicide. Prosecutors say Carter was driving drunk at the time, with her recorded her blood-alcohol level allegedly at 0.15 percent, above the legal limit of 0.08. She was released from the Pierce County Jail on May 28 on a $100,000 bond, records show. The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as Rodger Smith of Puyallup. He died from multiple blunt force injuries and his manner of death was listed as an accident, according to a news release. Eaton met Smith through mutual friends that he rode motorcycles with over a decade ago. Smith was part of a local motorcycle club in Tacoma and a proud U.S. Army combat veteran. 'He was the kind of guy to try to make everything fun,' Eaton told The News Tribune on Thursday. 'He always tried to put a positive twist on things, and try to get everybody to laugh.' Eaton said he learned of Smith's death after a mutual friend called him to say people had been posting on Facebook about the crash. 'Then I saw the video, the raw video from the scene, and I immediately recognized the bike, because that bike spent several months with me. I just got that bike put back together, had the engine done up, and just got it running right,' Eaton said. 'It was his favorite bike.' The next day, Eaton rode out to the accident scene because felt he needed to go there. 'That's kind of how I had to originally accept what had happened, by actually being there and seeing the large area that this accident scene covered,' he said. Tributes have poured in through Facebook from people who knew Smith. Eaton said his friend was well known, and anytime Smith showed up at an event, there was always someone who knew him there. Smith also always made it a priority to check up on the soldiers that he served with, Eaton said. He would go to reunions with them, making sure they were OK as they had seen stuff 'that none of us want to think about seeing.' 'That's the ultimate sacrifice, to leave your country and lose your life for your country. But to survive it, come home and be taken out this way — it just doesn't seem right,' Eaton said. A celebration of life is scheduled for June 21 when people will be riding to Eatonville for a gathering. There will be a service at the Tahoma National Cemetery on June 25. Eaton said he expected 'quite a few people' to show up at both events.

Parents Face Charges After Driver Kills 7-Year-Old Crossing The Street
Parents grieving the death of their 7-year-old son, hit and killed by an SUV driver in May, are facing charges because police said he was 'unsupervised' while crossing the street with his 10-year-old brother. Jessica Ivey, the mother of 7-year-old Legend Jenkins, told WSOC-TVbefore her arrest that she had allowed the boys to walk to a grocery store two blocks away from their home in Gastonia, North Carolina, on May 27. A 76-year-old woman driving a Jeep Cherokee hit the younger boy just before 6 p.m. as he was trying to cross a four-lane road, the Gastonia Police Department said in a press release. He died in a hospital hours after the accident from his injuries. Legend's mother and father, Samuele Jenkins, were charged with felony involuntary manslaughter and child neglect in the 7-year-old's death. They also face a misdemeanor charge of child neglect. Records show they are being held in Gaston County Jail on $150,000 bond each. 'While the Gastonia Police Department offers its deepest sympathies to the family for the heartbreaking loss of their child, the investigation revealed that the children involved were unsupervised at the time the boy stepped into traffic,' police wrote in the release. 'In such cases, adults must be held accountable for their responsibilities to ensure a safe environment for their children.' The Gastonia police department has received massive backlash following news of the parents' arrests, with numerous people expressing their outrage on social media. The department declined to comment on the controversy. The 76-year-old driver who struck Legend with her vehicle has not been charged. Police said there was no evidence of wrongdoing, noting that she was not speeding and is cooperating with the ongoing investigation. Legend's grieving mother believes the woman's driving privileges should be revoked. 'It's hard, I haven't stopped crying; my husband hasn't stopped crying,' she told WSOC-TV.
