Mother Crashes into CATS Bus While on Drugs, Infant Son Ejected

On Friday afternoon, a woman was driving her car while under the influence of drugs and caused a car crash that ejected her 2 year-old son from the car.

According to CMPD, Meeyung Park was driving her 2001 Chrysler 300M north on South Tryon Street. At about 3:30 Friday afternoon, Park hit another car before running into a stopped CATS bus and then hitting the median. The accident occurred ner South Tryon's intersection with Kingman Drive, which is near I-77's interchange with Billy Graham Parkway.

During the accident, Park's son, Anthony Lucente, was ejected from the vehicle's back seat and sustained serious injuries. Lucente was in stable condition and is expected to recover. Along with Lucente, his mother and grandmother were transported to Carolinas Medical Center.

At the time of the crash, the CATS bus had seven passengers, one of which was taken to a local hospital. After an initial investigation, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police determined that the child was not property fastened in his car seat. Police also determined that drugs and speed were factors in the accident.

Park is being charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, two felony counts of serious injury by vehicle, a child restraint violation, and failure to reduce speed.

The investigation into this accident is ongoing, and police have asked anyone with information on this incident to contact Detective R.C. Gormican directly by calling (704) 432-2169.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective R.C. Gormican at 704-432-2169.

FBI Releases NEW Photos of Man Caught in Restricted Area at CATS

The FBI has released new photos of a man they want to identify who they say could be a security risk for authorities in Charlotte, NC. 

The FBI first discovered this man in a restricted area of CATS in April and asked for the public's help in June.

FBI's Special Agent Ross said, "I will say, he did put some effort to going into a restricted area, he had to cross some barriers, he knew clearly he shouldn't have been where he was."

The FBI says they are involved in the case because of the nature of where the man was and what he was doing.  Authorities say the man they are looking for is about 6-feet tall and has an athletic build.

Special Agent Moss says he realizes it will be tough for people to remember back to April, but he feels strongly that someone may have seen the man recently.  If you have any information which could be helpful to authorities, please call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
