Three children were injured when a SUV crashed into a preschool and day care center Monday afternoon in Santa Clarita.
LA County officials said the SUV crashed into La Petite Academy in the 28000 block of Seco Canyon Road. Aerial video showed the SUV partially inside a hole in the wall of the building and surrounded by debris.
Steven Adler said his young daughter was trapped under a bookshelf.
"She's gotten into reading lately, and she was probably sitting there with one of her friends," Adler said. "They found her underneath the bookshelf."
