Two children among the 6 people injured when car hit a group of pedestrians outside primary school in the UK
Two children have been injured after a car hit a group of pedestrians outside a primary school in England this morning.

The car reportedly went up the kerb and hit a bus stop, injuring 6 people.  The accident occurred shortly after 8.30am at a time when the area would have been busy with parents dropping off their children.
A witness at the scene, which was covered in thick fog this morning, told local reporters that the car had hit a bus stop.
They said:

I ran outside after hearing a huge bang – it was a really deep thud. It seems as though the car has gone up the kerb, which is quite a way down, and ploughed into the bus stop. I really hope everyone is okay.

Ambulance crews said they were treating six people at the scene near Springhill Academy in Burntwood, West Midlands.
