UPDATED: 2 Children Seriously Injured After Being Struck, Pinned Under Car; Tehillim

UPDATED: [VIDEO]: Two children were struck by a vehicle and are said to be trapped under the car. The incident occurred on Route 9 at Cushman Street.

UPDATE: The children, ages 2 1/2 and 8, were run over as they were crossing Cushman Street with their mother at Rt 9 at about 1:40 PM, police tell TLS. The younger one was in a stroller when he was struck.

Police say the driver was making a right turn from Cushman Street onto Route 9 South, and failed to notice the pedestrians crossing when she made the turn.

As the first officer arrived, a man was jacking up the car to free the children, police tell TLS.

Dozens of Police, Hatzolah, EMS and Lakewood First Aid BLS and ALS units responded to the scene, along with Extrication Units.

The children were both transported to Jersey Shore Medical Center in serious condition.

The mother was not injured, an official said.

Lakewood’s Traffic & Safety Division and CIU are investigating the accident.

UPDATE 5:45 PM. Sources tell TLS that the children are both listed in critical but stable condition at this time. The next two hours are very crucial, the sources say.

Their names for Tehillim are Yitzchok Bentzion Ben Roza Bluma and Sarah Bracha Bas Roza Bluma.
