An 11-year-old boy who suffered critical injuries later died at a hospital. Authorities reported that two 11-year-old girls, a 10-year-old girl, and a 10-year-old boy also sustained serious injuries. The driver, who was immediately taken into custody but remained uninjured along with her child passenger, is under police questioning. Specialist accident investigators are gathering evidence at the site to understand the sequence of events; video footage reveals the station wagon's front-left fender was significantly damaged. Inspector McEvoy stated, "It appears it is a tragic accident." (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot.
