A young brother and sister died and 15 people were injured, several seriously, when vehicle driven by a suspected drunken driver crashed into a children's birthday party Saturday (local time) at a boat club, a Michigan sheriff said.
Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough said an eight-year-old girl and her five-year-old brother died in the crash when a 66-year-old woman crashed nearly 8 metres into the building at the Swan Creek Boat Club in Berlin Township, about 50km south of Detroit.
He did not identify the woman driving the vehicle but said she was taken into custody suspected of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated causing death.
He said she was cooperating with authorities.
The victims were taken to several area hospitals after the crash. No other details were available.
