Luke and Hailey Vinsko were just coming back from their first day out together after having twins when the unimaginable happened.
"We were putting those golf clubs in his trunk, and we had dinner in our hands and, get[ting] ready to come into the house and see the boys, and she floored her car and rammed him and pinned him ... and then she backed up, hit another car, and then came back and hit my car and crashed into him. That's the car he was under. Took the garage door off the hinges, and when I tried to reach into her car to turn her car off, she laughed in my face and then reversed it and put that red car through their garage," said Hailey Vinsko.
Hailey's mother, who ran over to help, said the woman also laughed at her.

"I had choice words. Obviously, I'm not going to say them, but she was laughing at me," said Tammy Osborn, mother of Hailey. "This is their house. This is where you're supposed to be safe and protected."
Hailey said they did not recognize the woman who went on the vehicle rampage.
"We've never seen her before in our entire lives. I have no idea who she is. I don't know, she was just down the street and we were the people that were on the road. We were the first people that she saw when she got into her car. So we're in the wrong time, wrong place, wrong time at our own house," she said.
The family said they are working to remain positive despite the challenges that remain ahead after Luke had to have part of his leg amputated.
"He's still in the ICU. He's stable. They are giving him another blood transfusion today. He's very sleepy, but he's staying positive, and we're taking one day at a time," said Hailey.
The suspect's name is not being released. Police say she was found still at the scene of the collisions sitting in her vehicle. She is expected to be arraigned in 18th District Court following a review of the case by the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.
Policed say alcohol and drugs do appear to be a factor in the incident.
"My husband doesn't have his right leg. His left foot is broken. He's going to have to learn to walk again. I don't know if I'll ever be able to work again. We have two month old twin boys that we're trying to figure out how to take care of while taking care of him. It's going to be a very long road, but him and I have always been a team, and we always will be. And we know as long as we have each other, we'll figure it out. I'm just taking one day at a time," said Hailey.
The case is still under investigation.
