Several children were struck by a vehicle this morning in Tampa Florida. The extent of their injuries is not known at this time, but at least one of the kids is reportedly in critical condition.
Two adults were also reportedly struck by the vehicle.
Police have confirmed that multiple juveniles were injured. The incident occurred on a residential road, likely while children were waiting for or boarding a school bus, given the time of day.
This is the third incident in a week where children were hit or killed on US roadways, according to ABC News. 3 siblings were hit and killed on an Indiana roadway as they crossed a street to get to their bus.
