Seems to be woefully short on details, IMO.

Was it self-driving?

Was the car a Tesla on autopilot gone rogue like I,Robot?
Or did a person drive the car into the kids?
Journalism sucks so hard.
Prayers for the victims and those who love them.

“The Illinois driver, who was uninjured, was the sole occupant of the vehicle and was taken to a hospital for evaluation, Tarter said. Police haven’t said if the driver was arrested or taken into custody.”

My translation, the driver is a resident of Illinois with a DL, appeared uninjured and was taken to hospital for a blood draw to check for intoxicants or possible medical event like a stroke or diabetic event.

Was the driver vaxxed and died suddenly, aloha snackbar, or “Dear Sir/Madman”?

Cars are killing people. We need more laws to keep these killer cars off our streets.

Is it an elderly person who “accidentally” stepped on the gas instead of the brake,who had no business driving?

No description..must be black

[Karliner]

Vehicles do that, and guns too?
RIP children. Tragedy

[Paladin2]

Maybe needs a 4 l draw if a muzzle?

[No name given]

I think we’ll know more later.

[epluribus_2]

Another vehicle violence tragedy.
Oh when will we end this via sensible, compassionate, vehicle control.

Which tells you one of four things.

muzzie, tranny, illegal, or.......

[Nachoman]

Must not have been a dreaded assault SUV. The article would have never missed mentioning that.

I am going to put 5 down on just an old person that got pedals confused. It happens more often than most think (including my grandfather).

Vehicle rammings are the new AR-15.
