The car jumped the curb and hit the window, she said.

Mendel Corgan’s mother, who was with the Corgans’ son, was injured, she said. The extent of her injuries was not immediately clear.

Their son was not injured, Mendel Corgan said.

“Our family is grateful for the quick assistance of Highland Park and Deerfield first responders,” she said.

There was no further information, police said.
