Four children hurt by 4WD outside Prescott Primary School in Para Vista Four children were hospitalised after they were hit by a 4WD at Prescott Primary School in Para Vista this afternoon. FOUR children, believed to be from the same family, are in a serious condition after they were hit by a woman who lost control of a four-wheel-drive outside a northeastern school. About 3.30pm emergency services were called to Prescott Primary School at Para Vista when a woman parking her car to collect children lost control and hit another car before pinning the four children aged 5-11 against a wall. Parents and students looked on in horror as the driver, in shock, was pulled from the vehicle and the children freed from the car. One parent said she believed the children were all from the same family and the youngest of the four, a five-year-old started reception at the northern suburbs school just last week. An off-duty nurse reportedly tended to the injured children before ambulances arrived at the scene. One student, Marko Skornjack, told Channel Ten news that it was chaos at the school. "Everyone was coming up and the mother of the two children that got hit, she was crying and screaming," he said. A parent from the school, Peter Bennier said the incident would be traumatising for the children. "It's a pretty traumatising thing especially with a lot of the kids around and in the yard," he said. The children were taken to the Women's and Children's hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. A woman, in her 30s, believed to be the mother of the children, fainted at the scene and was also taken to hospital.
