Mum crashes car packed with children in boot
A woman who crashed a car containing seven children, including three in the boot, is being investigated by police.
The 35-year-old, from Melbourne, Australia, was allegedly over the drink-drive limit when she was at the wheel of the unregistered 1992 Mitsubishi Magna.
The car had a 10-year-old boy in the passenger seat, two 14-year-old girls and a 15-year-old across the back seats and three boys - two aged 14 and a 15-year-old - in the boot.
The five boys suffered minor injuries when the vehicle left the road and hit a parked car.
The woman claims the children climbed into the boot themselves through a panel in the rear of the car, apparently because they were feeling crushed by the overcrowding.
When confronted by the media, the woman apologised, saying: "I know I've done the most stupidest thing you could ever imagine. Please forgive me. Please, it's all I can say. There's nothing else I can say."
Police called her actions "mad" and said she was expected to face criminal charges.
