An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother were killed when a vehicle crashed into a birthday party at a yacht club in Newport, Michigan, and their family is asking for help to pay for their funerals.
The vehicle crashed into the Swan Boat Club at about 3 p.m. local time Saturday, striking the children's birthday party. Nine other children were injured. The driver, a 66-year-old woman, is believed to have been intoxicated at the time of the crash. She was taken into police custody and is being held in the Monroe County Jail. The siblings, identified as Lana and Zayn, were pronounced dead at the scene. The family has since launched a GoFundMe page to help cover the costs of their funerals.

Medics on scene initially triaged 15 victims, nine of whom were transported to the hospital. Three children and six adults were listed with "incapacitating injuries." The venue closed Saturday following the tragic incident, and a day later shared a fundraiser on behalf of the two victims, offering condolences to their family and friends.

 

The driver, who authorities have not yet publicly identified, was arrested for operating while intoxicated causing death and is expected to face additional charges as the investigation continues, the sheriff said.
