Police took into custody the driver of a vehicle that struck three children on Browns Ferry Road at Liberty Street in Cumberland Township about 4 p.m. Saturday.

State police in Waynesburg said a sport utility vehicle driven by Stephen Dodson of Carmichaels was traveling east on Browns Ferry when it drifted to the right and struck two boys and a girl. Police did not identify the children but said the girl was from Crucible and the boys were from Nemacolin.

Police said Dodson fled and was stopped about four miles away. He smelled of alcohol, police said.

An investigation was continuing, and police expected to file charges against Dodson.

Hi. This is Codie Dodson Stephen's daughter. : 6/28/2009
Hi. I'm so sorry for what my dad did. I know he was in the wrong. My dad is very sorry, and we hope the best for the 3 teens. I'm deeply sorry, but please everyone deserves a second chance. My dad is the greatest man alive. He helps everyone he can. Please don't let one mistake take him away from his family. I'm am deeply sorry to all the families and I wish everyone the best of luck and I am praying for everyone. I really do know my father was in the wrong, but please there are many other people who do wrong everyday and nothing happens to them. Him making one mistake should not determin his fate and the childrens fate. I have been praying since this has happened not just for my dad but for the people he hurt. My dad is my hero I love him until no end. If we didn't give eveyone second chances there would not be a point in living. I know this was a big mistake but everyone does make mistakes. My dad really is a great man. So please help us and pray for not only us but for the three kids. Thank you so much. God Bless Everyone!
