Driver accused of allegedly driving a car to girls playing in the Georgia House yard

The man suspected of mowing a car in a Georgia court and seriously injured one of them, before being struck by a house collision, was arrested Tuesday, a few days after escaping .

Gabriel Jabri Fordham, 28, has been charged with serious motor vehicle crime, according to Sheriff DeKalb's office. He is also charged with four counts: failure to maintain a lane, failure to stop at a stop sign, reckless driving and hit and run.

The surveillance video shows the heartbreaking moment where a black sedan passes through a stop sign, crosses a street and enters a front yard of Lithonia, beating LaDerihanna Holmes, 9, and her friend who were playing outside on Friday night .

The black Ford stopped with the front half inside the house and the rear half outside. The driver and a passenger left the premises while residents of the neighborhood and the house rushed to help the little girls.

LaDerihanna, who loves cheerleading and dancing, has a fractured skull and her pelvic bone is broken in three places, said her mother, Charlette Bolton.

She was transferred from a hospital to a rehabilitation center where she would spend weeks in physical therapy, said her brother Trevon Hughley to WXIA, affiliated with NBC.

"She will have to relearn how to walk," said family lawyer Chris Stewart.

But after watching the video, he and LaDerihanna's family recognize that she is lucky enough to be alive. The car "did not just hit her, she projected it through a brick wall," Stewart said.

Alayshia Phillips, 11, a friend of LaDerihanna, was also hit by the car and injured her foot, police said.

A statement from the DeKalb sheriff's office indicates that Fordham was arrested without incident in a parking lot near their headquarters. He was booked at DeKalb County Prison. The court records show that he has already been charged with burglary, theft, assault and forgery.
