KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — One child remains hospitalized a day after a car came crashing into a Kansas City day care center.

The injured child was kept overnight for observation at Children’s Mercy and remained at the hospital Wednesday.

Children’s Mercy spokeswoman Jessica Salazar says two other children were treated and released.

The three children were among 40 inside the Christian Academy Child Care east of downtown when the accident happened around 1 p.m. Tuesday. Police said the driver of an SUV was “approximately 80” years old. He was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Witnesses said the SUV plowed into a parked Cadillac that careened into, and through the front of the day care center. Two children were pinned briefly underneath the Cadillac. They were rescued by passersby. A third child was injured inside the center.

The crash that left a giant hole in the front of the day care facility.
