A vehicle incident in Pinewood resulted in four children and one adult being hospitalized after their car crashed into a bus stop, authorities reported.

The accident occurred just after the 3 p.m. hour yesterday, near the busy intersection of Northwest 77th Avenue and 99th Street, as per NBC Miami. Miami-Dade Police stated that a car clipped another, the impact sending the latter vehicle careening toward a bus stop. Fortunately, the bus stop was unoccupied at the time of the crash, avoiding what could have been a more tragic event.

The victims, who were all traveling in the second vehicle, included two children rushed to a main trauma center and an adult with another two children transported to a local hospital, as fire rescue officials advised. Details on their current conditions have not been disclosed, but the elevation of some victims to a trauma center suggests serious injuries may have been sustained.

Despite the chaos of the incident, all involved individuals remained at the scene, cooperating with the authorities as they began to piece together the events leading up to the crash, according to Pendas Law. Details concerning the cause of the crash, or the conditions of the individuals involved, were not immediately available, as the investigation is ongoing.
