A Michigan man allegedly drove into a teenage girl riding her longboard, leaving her “screaming in pain” in the middle of the road.

James Lawrence Shaheen, 38, contacted police the day after he allegedly struck 18-year-old Gabriella Golden with his 2003 Mini Cooper. According to a police report obtained by local NBC affiliate WDIV, Golden was riding her longboard on the night of Oct. 22, 2024. Surveillance cameras in the area picked up the sound of an audible crash at 11:20 p.m., followed by an image of a Mini Cooper driving through the area.
