Vehicle accidentally backs through window into Michigan school, injuring preschool students

Vehicle backs into Mich. school; students injured

FRANKLIN, Mich. — An official says a vehicle backed through a large window at a suburban Detroit school and into a classroom. More than a dozen young students were injured but none seriously.

Village of Franklin Administrator Jon Stoppels says the vehicle was driven by an employee of Huda School & Montessori. It appeared the driver was attempting to park about 9 a.m. Tuesday and accidentally broke through the glass.

Stoppels says 14 preschool students were injured, and five were taken to a local hospital. Injuries were primarily cuts and bruises, though he says some were being evaluated for broken bones.

A woman who answered the phone at the private school refused to comment and said to call back later.

Franklin is about 15 miles northwest of Detroit.
