STONEHAM, MA — Police are searching for a vehicle they say struck four children in Stoneham Sunday evening. The children, all 12 or 13, suffered minor injuries; two were sent to the hospital.
Police released video taken by a neighbor that appears to show a car veering off the road into the children, sending them flying back.
Police Chief James McIntyre said the vehicle was a dark-colored Subaru Legacy driving westbound on Elm Street. The children were standing with their bikes in front of a home at the corner of MacArthur Road. The Subaru then struck a parked car in a driveway and drove away, McIntyre said

VIDEO: The man who captured this video says he looked out his window because he thought he heard yelling. Moments later, this happened. He rushed outside, helped calm the kids, & called 911. He says he feared the worst and can’t believe none of the kids were seriously hurt @wbz pic.twitter.com/5OPEvGblRM
