Another person, believed to be the driver, was transported with minor injuries.

The sheriff’s department wouldn’t confirm any information yet, but parents believe the driver was parked and thought she was in reverse and then slammed on gas instead, crashing into the preschool.

Sheriff’s deputies have left the scene and crews were working on patching up a hole in the building.
