Car Crashes Into Orlando Home, Pins Her Against Table
A week ago, on Tuesday, a 67-year-old woman was in her home at 7381 High Lake Drive. It was close to 9:00 in the morning, a usually quiet time for this particular stretch of High Lake Drive which is located in between North Hiawassee Road and North Apopka Vineland Road and close to Lake Gem Elementary School. The woman, who has not been named, was in her kitchen, sitting at a table, when a car suddenly drove through the kitchen wall.
Car Crashes into Cocoa Home, Three Children Injured
It was almost two weeks ago, on a Saturday, that McCarthy and her husband were fast asleep in their Cocoa home when they suddenly awakened to a loud crashing sound. Leaping from their bed, McCarthy’s husband rushed out of the bedroom and towards the source of the sound. He made his way to the home’s second bedroom, where his three sons, aged 5, 7, and 15, were sleeping. When he opened the door, he saw the room completely upended, drywall dust floating in the air, and the breeze from outside sweeping across his face. Most noticeable, however, was the car which was sitting in the center of the room on top of the demolished exterior wall.
New Report Shows Shocking Statistics Regarding Injuries Inflicted by Window Blinds on Children
A disturbing report was recently released by the Center for Injury Research and Policy, located at Columbus, Ohio, in the Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Furthermore, two children are injured every single day under the same circumstances.
Orange County Deputy Injured in Stolen Car Hit-and-Run
On Wednesday of last week, a deputy with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office was on patrol when they were called in to assist in the pursuit of a stolen vehicle just after 11:30 in the morning. According to the report, the unnamed deputy was following the vehicle along South Goldenrod Road when the two cars neared Pershing Avenue. Somehow, and this is something that one hopes will be fleshed out in future reports from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the driver of the stolen vehicle managed to either get themselves behind the trailing cruiser or simply turned around so that the two vehicles were face to face.
