KYOTO — A seven-year-old girl and a pregnant woman were killed Monday morning when a car hit a group of elementary school children in Kameoka, Kyoto Prefecture.
Eight other children were seriously hurt when the car, driven by an 18-year-old male without a license, crashed into the nine youngsters and one adult.
Yukihi Matsumura, 26, who was seven months pregnant, and Mao Odani, 7, were declared dead several hours after the crash, which happened at around 8 a.m. as the children were being taken to school.
Matsumura’s unborn baby also died in the accident, a police spokesman said.
According to police, the children and Matsumura were walking along the side of a curved one-way road when the minicar failed to make a left curve and hit them.
