Three Children, Father Hit by Drunk Driver in Virginia Beach

A woman has been charged with multiple offenses after she struck a father and three children in the Virginia Beach neighborhood of Princess Anne Plaza. According to police reports the woman, Sandra L. Hofstadler, of Virginia Beach, sped around a stopped school bus, swerved into a yard and hit four people.

Children Seriously Injured by Drunk Driver in Virginia Beach

Two of the three children were seriously hurt during the accident. A day after the accident, a five year old child was listed in critical condition. Another child, age seven, was in stable condition. The father and another child, also seven, suffered less severe, non-life-threatening injuries. A witness at the scene rushed over after the accident occurred and performed CPR on one of the children. Paramedics arrived shortly after and took all the injured parties to area hospitals.
