2 children killed while walking to school in Prince George’s County, police say – NBC4 Washington

A car struck and killed two children who were walking to an elementary school in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Monday morning, police said.

The crash happened around 8 a.m. at the intersection of Riverdale and Taylor roads, Riverdale Park police said. The children were heading to nearby Riverdale Elementary School at the time, police said.

Doctors took the children to a hospital in critical condition, and they later died, police said.

Police said the driver involved remained at the scene.

The video shows a recording of police surrounding the intersection, which is a four-way stop directly across from the school parking lot and main entrance. A large black van was in the secure area. It is still unclear whether this was the car involved in the accident. A few meters from the van, a backpack could be seen lying on a sidewalk.

Officers closed the intersection during their investigation.

After the accident, Riverdale Elementary School told parents they could collect their children from school if they wanted and many children could be seen queuing outside to be checked out for the day, a reported News4’s Paul Wagner.

No further information was immediately available about the victims or what happened.
