Woman from Springfield Facing Felony Charges for Driving with Kids on Roof

A woman from Springfield is being charged with four felonies after driving with kids on the roof of her car.

Investigators say 23-year-old Katrina Spivey was driving in the parking lot of the Kum & Go on Sunshine near Scenic Avenue in May of 2022 with three underage children on either the roof or hood of the vehicle.

During the incident one of the children, a 15-year-old, was hurt when they fell of the car.

When police arrived, Spivey admitted to drinking alcohol and submitted to a breathalyzer test.

Her blood alcohol level measured at 0.087, just above the legal limit of 0.08.

Spivey has subsequently been charged with:

  • DWI resulting in physical injury
  • First-degree endangering the welfare of a child resulting in physical injury
  • Two counts of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child

Prosecutors say she will appear in court for her charges on May 4.
