INITIAL REPORT: 

A 39-year-old mother and her 7-year-old son were killed after a car slammed into their Dayton home late Wednesday night.

The incident started with an officer patrolling the neighborhood spotted a car that immediately fled from him before he was able to conduct a traffic stop, Dayton Police Lt. Steven Bauer said. The driver appeared to have panicked when he saw the officer, sped off, and crashed into the house in the 800 block of Lilac Avenue around 11 p.m., Bauer said.
