Two young siblings tragically died and nine other people are fighting for their lives after a suspected drunk driver smashed into a children's birthday party in Michigan

Horrific images captured the aftermath as scattered balloons and party cups lay amongst rubble, where a total of 15 adults and children were killed or injured on Saturday afternoon. 

An unidentified 66-year-old female suspect was arrested at the Swan Boat Club in Berlin Township, where shocking footage captured her car flying over 25 feet into the building hosting the children's party. 

The driver was arrested at the scene under suspicion of operating a vehicle under the influence causing death, and officials said they anticipate bringing further charges.  

Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough grew visibly emotional at a press conference where he revealed the two victims - aged 5 and 8 - were siblings.

 In images captured by the Monroe County Reporters, the crumpled remains of the boat club showed the thin exterior walls where the vehicle crashed through. 

A huge first responder presence raced to the scene just after 3pm, where Goodnough said the scenes were 'extremely chaotic' with 'high level of emotions.' 

In surveillance footage taken from across the parking lot, the suspected drunk driver's vehicle was seen swerving erratically. 

The speeding car skid past parked vehicles before colliding with the side of the boat club, at the same moment dozens of children and parents were enjoying a birthday party inside. 

One child was reportedly pinned under the vehicle as it flew through the building, and the brother and sister who lost their lives were tragically pronounced dead at the scene. 

Helicopters and ambulances scrambled nine victims to nearby hospitals, who were listed as being in life-threatening condition. 

Further victims were also taken to hospital in private cars, Goodnough said.

The sheriff said authorities were declining to identify the 66-year-old female suspect, who was arrested under suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated causing death. 

'Additional criminal charges while likely be brought against the driver as the investigation proceeds,' Goodnough added. Officials said she was cooperating with investigators. 

It is believed by investigators that the driver had been at a tavern around five miles from the boat club before the crash, which police closed down on Saturday afternoon following the wreck.

Officials said they intend to execute a search warrant on the tavern as part of the investigation into how the tragedy unfolded. 

The Swan Boat club shared a brief statement on Facebook, saying: 'There was a terrible accident at Swan today with many injuries, and much damage to the pavilion.

'Please keep all the people and families in attendance in your prayers.'

The boat club said it would be closed as officials carry out their investigation.
