HIGHLAND PARK (KDKA) -- A 13-year-old girl crashed a vehicle into a Highland Park playground, almost hitting a baby in a stroller, Saturday afternoon.

It happened at Super Playground off Reservoir Drive.

Pittsburgh Police spokeswoman Sonya Toler said the driver's older sister, 19-year-old Mariamo Mada, was in the car with the teenage driver and tried to get into the driver's seat before the crash.

No one was injured, but the vehicle almost hit a baby in a stroller. The child's father was able to grab the baby out of the stroller and get out of the way.

Toler says Mada had allowed her younger sister drive the car.

Mada was arrested and is charged with two counts of recklessly endangering another person and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
