Grandy, N.C. — A woman is accused of kidnapping five children in Grandy, North Carolina, after crashing her car Sunday on U.S. Route 158.
Officials with the Currituck County Sheriff's Office said that a man driving an SUV with five children inside stopped to help a woman on the side of the road after a crash involving several vehicles.
After the man got out of the car to help the crash victims, deputies say Markell Hancox, from Chesapeake Virginia, jumped into the driver seat and drove away.
She headed north on US-158 and pulled into the parking lot of the Hopp Inn in Grandy, officials said. She was arrested shortly after running away from the SUV.
Deputies rescued the five children, and even though they were "extremely shaken," they were not harmed, officials with the sheriff's office said.
