At about 6:50 a.m. Saturday, a woman and two children were killed in a car crash near Dunkirk Lane and Lawndale Lane in Maple Grove.
Law enforcement says one man is also in the hospital with serious injuries as they wait for crash reconstruction specialists to tell them more about what happened. "It’s terrifying. Life is short," neighbor Shilpa Kulkarni told FOX 9. "We heard a big screeching noise."
The screeching noise was only the beginning of what she heard.
"I heard a man shouting for help, asking if the kids were okay. We could see the people running down to the retention pond," Kulkarni continued. "He was asking, find my kids, are my kids OK, is my kid OK?"
Hours later, Kulkarni, a mother of two, is still digesting all that she saw happen to another family just past her backyard.
