Also Friday night, authorities in Washington state said two 7-year-old girls and a 20-year-old woman sustained life-threatening injuries when they were hit by a car while trick-or-treating in Vancouver.
The Columbian reported that police said a car jumped a curb and hit the trio.
A 33-year-old woman with them and the car’s 47-year-old driver, who remained at the scene, had less serious injuries.
In New York state, a 3-year-old boy was killed and a 16-year-old girl was seriously injured Friday night when they were hit by a car while trick-or-treating. The car struck the children as they crossing a two-lane road in Greece at about 9:40 p.m., police said. They said the driver is cooperating in the investigation and has not been charged.
A 2-year-old in Florida died when he was hit by a bus Friday evening. He was in a stroller with two other children when the adult pushing them across a street realized he had dropped his cellphone. The man stopped the stroller in the median and told the children to stay while he retrieved the phone. The child got out the stroller and was hit by a driver who did not see him in the street, authorities said.
And check this out from another story, there was even more trouble in Irvine, California. (ps. I don't know much about this website LAist in case it is an objectionable website or something.

In another tragic Halloween incident from last night, a 65-year old man and a 4-year old relative were both hit by a car in Irvine while trick-or-treating. The 65-year old man was killed and the 4-year old is listed in critical condition. In that incident, the woman driving stopped her car, but City News Service reports she will not face criminal charges.
Really shows parents or someone else responsible need to be supervising the kids, people need to be well seen. I have no idea if last Halloween was this bad, when I was growing up, I think the danger was thought of having one's food poisoned, things like that.
Those girls were walking in the crosswalk from the reports I read. They did everything right, yet still this horror. May God rest their souls.
Personally I don’t think these Fast and Furious movies have helped, as far as all the bad drivers out there. These kids think that stuff is real.
