A New York City mother and her four children were taken to the hospital after being struck by a hit-and-run driver at a school bus stop.
The incident occurred shortly before 5 p.m. Wednesday in the Flatlands neighborhood of Brooklyn. Police tried to pull over a white Mercedes-Benz to stop traffic, they told FOX 5 New York.
Instead, the driver of the car stepped on the accelerator and took off just as the school bus had dropped off the children, crashing into the family. The force of the impact sent the mother and her 5-year-old daughter under the bus.
The Mercedes then left the scene of the accident.
