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.

The convener of the group, Segun Akinloye, made this call on Tuesday at a press conference in Abuja on the state of the nation. Mr Akinloye said “the lives of Nigerians, even in Nigeria appears nowadays to be cheaper and more worthless than ever before witnessed or recorded in history.” He frowned at the powerlessness of the police to abate the killings, warning that Nigeria may be heading to division and eventual collapse if urgent steps are not taken. He made reference to the killings in Southern Kaduna, Benue, Taraba, Kogi, Plateau and Kaduna St...
