On assessment, paramedics found that all three patients had sustained moderate injuries to their head and arms.

Paramedics treated the patients and thereafter transported them to King Edward Hospital for further treatment.

The driver apparently lost control of the vehicle. The mother apparently managed to get the children out of the moving vehicle in attempt to save them. The mother then apparently jumped out of the vehicle.

The driver, a man, managed to stop the vehicle in time. He fortunately escaped without injury.

Local authorities were on scene for further investigations.
