Vehicle Backs into Mich. School; 6 Hurt

(AP)  Authorities say a teacher accidentally backed her SUV through a window and into her classroom at a suburban Detroit school. Several preschool students were injured but none seriously.

Village of Franklin Police Chief Patrick Browne says the Huda School & Montessori teacher was trying to park her SUV Tuesday morning and hit the gas pedal instead of the brake.

Browne says six of the 17 students were injured, and four went to a hospital. Injuries were primarily cuts and bruises, though one may have a broken nose.

Principal Azra Ali says the students were eating a snack at the time, and another teacher was in the room. Bookcases and shelves along the window likely helped prevent serious injuries.

Franklin is about 15 miles northwest of Detroit.

Ok.....assuming that wasn't a Toyota, perhaps the explanation lies in the fact that about 80% of the drivers on this nations highways, drive without paying the slightest attention, to the roadway.

That's what happens, when police NEVER stop a motorist for reckless driving. I have been on the road for 48 yrs., and I cannot tell you any occasion, when I actually saw a reckless driver get pulled over.

That is because, in reality, police only seek to generate tickets, from speeding and stop signs/traffic lights, rather than to make drivers drive safely.

I see, on average about 12 accidents a week, on the city freeways, and 95% of them, are rear end collisions from following to closely......a very AVOIDABLE statistic.

The Michigan Legislature will for less school funding because less funding means drivers like this won't be hired.
And...Yes, our Legislature is that stupid.
