1 Child Hurt When Car Crashes Into Zion Day Care Center

BEACH PARK, Ill. (AP) — The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said a 33-year-old Kenosha woman was ticketed after her unlicensed, 16-year-old niece crashed into a suburban Chicago day care center.

Authorities say the crash occurred early Wednesday at the Lee’s Family Daycare and Learning Center in Beach Park. An 11-year-old was transported to a Waukegan hospital. Day care owner Antoinette Lee says her niece suffered minor cuts on a leg. Police say none of the other 21 children and eight adults were injured.

Officers say the driver was turning into the driveway when she stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake and struck the wall.

The teen’s aunt, Ranie Hall, was cited for allowing an unlicensed driver to operate a motor vehicle. The girl was ticketed for operating a motor vehicle without a license and for not having insurance.
