A car hit a father crossing a Huntington Beach intersection with his two children, injuring him and both children, according to a news report.
Huntington Beach police said that a motorist making a left turn onto northbound Edwards St. at Central Park Drive struck the father, his 1-year-old infant and 3-year-old toddler. The father was holding the infant and the toddler was riding a tricycle.
Authorities said that the father and children were crossing in the crosswalk when they were hit, and were investigating why the driver did not see them.
The father and infant received minor injuries when they were thrown onto the hood of the car; the vehicle went on top of the tricycle, injuring the toddler. All three were taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The toddler was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
