An 11-year-old boy who suffered critical injuries later died at a hospital. Authorities reported that two 11-year-old girls, a 10-year-old girl, and a 10-year-old boy also sustained serious injuries. The driver, who was immediately taken into custody but remained uninjured along with her child passenger, is under police questioning.
