The Van Buren County Sheriff's office reports that three people ran away from the car they were riding in after the driver smashed into a house north of Decatur Saturday night. At approximately 11:00 PM, the drivier of the 1997 Cadillac lost control while driving east on Parkhurst Drive and was unable to stop at the stop sign at the intersection with M-51. The car subsequently hit a house, and three of the four occupants fled on foot. A K-9 unit tracked the driver to a nearby shed where he was found under a tarp.
