She put her kids in a plastic wagon then towed them with her car through traffic, police say

An Oregon woman is facing criminal child endangerment charges after witnesses say she tried to show her kids a “good time” in an extremely dangerous way, police told local media outlets.

According to the Register-Guard, Alana Nicole Donahue of Springfield, Oregon, was arrested Wednesday evening after witnesses reported seeing her driving a car and towing a plastic red wagon with children in it.

According to The Oregonian, there were allegedly three children in the wagon — Donahue’s 2-year-old daughter, 4-year-old son and 8-year-old nephew. The incident took place at around 7:40 p.m., according to KVAL.

Witnesses say they saw Donahue driving her car with the wagon attached to it by a strap or rope through traffic, police say. According to one witness, Donahue was reaching speeds of 30 miles per hour, and at one point, the wagon tipped so that it was up on two wheels, police told KVAL.
