Woman charged with child endangering following crash
Mother was on her way to drop kids at nearby school.
A Springfield woman who drove her vehicle into a Mt. Joy Street home Wednesday and then left and dropped her children off at a elementary faces charges of child endangerment and OVI.
Tyann Cobb, 31, was arraigned in the Clark County Municipal Court Thursday morning on charges of OVI, hit and run, failure to control, three counts of child endangering, as well as stop sign, seat belt and driver’s license violations.
As of Thursday afternoon, she was not listed as an inmate of Clark County Jail.
Cobb’s SUV allegedly struck a home on Mt. Joy St. near Lexington Ave. early Wednesday morning while the mother of three was on her way to drop off her children at nearby Horace Mann Elementary, according to a Springfield Police Division incident report.
Cobb allegedly fled the scene, dropped her children off at school, and returned to her home, according to the report. Police took her into custody Wednesday.
Medics responded to the elementary school to check the three children for injuries, and none were reported, according to the report.
The owner of the home, Cheryl Anon, said she was asleep in the living room when a car crashed through the front of the house.
Anon did not suffer any injuries, but said that the driver had backed out of the house and drove away from the property.
The incident remains under investigation.
