Melissa D. Swiger, a 32-year-old Akron woman was caught dumping on a roadway. The problem is, it was her toddler child she was dropping-off in the middle of the street before driving off. Moments later, she was involved in a three-car accident.
According to the Akron Police Department, Swiger was driving west on Waterloo Road with her 3-year-old child in the back seat when she suddenly stopped the vehicle.
Swiger then allegedly placed the child in the middle of the road and drove off. The child was left alone, strapped into a car seat.
Fortunately, a witness was nearby who removed the child from the road and contacted police. Investigators say Swiger caused a 3-car accident minutes after she left her child in the street. She was taken to a local hospital and was given a blood test, which showed she had drugs in her system.
