Car Crashes Into South Dakota Nursing Home, Killing 101 Year-Old Resident
A careless teenage prank is being blamed for the death of a 101 year-old nursing home resident.
Mildred Ellefon was injured when a car crashed through a wall at Palisade Manor, a nursing home in Garretson, South Dakota. Ellefson initially was treated at a local hospital and returned to the facility, where she later died.
The accident happened as three people were waiting on the parking lot of the nursing home for a friend to get off work. The eighteen year old driver, Clarrissa Kutil, decided to play a trick on the two sitting on the trunk of the car and revved the engine. She accidentally shifted the car into reverse and crashed through the wall of the facility. She was cited for careless driving and no driver's license but could face more charges.
