Central Peoria business closed until further notice after SUV crashes into it
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — An SUV crashed through the wall of a Central Peoria restaurant Sunday evening, causing it to close until further notice. The Peoria Fire Department was called at 8:16 p.m. Sunday evening to Sharkey's Fish and Chicken at the corner of North Sterling Avenue and West Forrest Hill Avenue to a report of a vehicle crashing into the building, Battalion Chief Rick Waldron said. When firefighters arrived, they found a mid-sized SUV had crashed through the wall of the restaurant and was completely inside the building, he said. The few customers, the staff and the driver were able to get out of the building safely on their own he said. The driver was treated for minor injuries and then was 'released to the custody of Peoria PD,' he said. It is not clear if the driver was cited or arrested for the incident, and the police department did not immediately respond to WMBD's inquiry. Gas and electricity were shut off, and the city's code enforcement was called to the scene, but no cost of damages was given, Waldron said. The building sustained heavy damage and will be closed until further notice, he said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

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.

SUV crashes into building in Redford; holiday travel peak times; and more top stories SUV crashes into building in Redford; holiday travel peak times; and more top stories SUV crashes into building in Redford; holiday travel peak times; and more top stories Alcohol appears to have been a factor in a crash that killed a 47-year-old woman in Scio Township, Michigan, early Saturday, according to Michigan State Police. Troopers responded to the crash in the area of Interstate 94 near Jackson Avenue around 5:15 a.m. after being alerted by Ford's notification system. Responding police noticed a semitruck and an SUV on the shoulder of a road. The drivers of both vehicles told troopers they hit an object, and the semitruck driver thought they saw headlights in the woods in the area where they struck the object, MSP says. Troopers and firefighters searched and found a Ford Expedition that had crashed deep in the woods. Investigators said the woman, from Dexter, Michigan, was driving the Ford on I-94, drifted off the road, drove into the woods and struck a tree. She died at the scene. "Alcohol appears to be a factor in the crash," police said in a written release on Saturday. Officials say the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call MSP's Brighton Post at 810-227-1051.

Detroit police chase ends after driver crashes into school bus
SUV crashes into building in Redford; holiday travel peak times; and more top stories SUV crashes into building in Redford; holiday travel peak times; and more top stories SUV crashes into building in Redford; holiday travel peak times; and more top stories Detroit police say a police chase Friday on the city's west side ended after the driver crashed into a school bus with three teens inside and another vehicle. Captain Shannon Hampton says that at about 3:15 p.m., officers were on Mettetal Street and Fullerton Avenue conducting an investigation when they spotted the people they were looking for coming out of a house. Hampton says the individuals got into a car and drove head-on into a police car before taking off. Hampton says the suspects traveled to Fullerton Avenue and Meyers Road, where the suspect vehicle crashed into a school bus. The vehicle struck a second car before the suspects got out and ran away. Police arrested the suspects after a brief foot chase, Hampton says. Investigators recovered a handgun, cash and drugs. Hampton says the two suspects suffered minor injuries. No one else was reported to be hurt. Hampton says the incident is not connected to Thursday's shooting in Redford Township that injured Detroit rapper Skilla Baby. In that shooting, Redford police say the 26-year-old, whose real name is Trevon Gardner, "suffered three non-fatal gunshot wounds" before he crashed his car into a building. Police say Gardner is expected to make a full recovery.
