SUV runs off road and into a group of middle school children

BELMONT, Calif. — A sport utility vehicle jumped a curb outside a middle school Wednesday afternoon, plowed into a group of children waiting for a bus and rammed into a tree, trapping several students underneath, police said.

Hospital officials said that 13 children and the SUV's driver were taken to hospitals, and that at least two children were seriously injured. Parents and staff at Ralston Middle School used a jack and their collective muscle to rescue the trapped children, said Belmont police Lt. Dan DeSmidt. . . . .
