San Jose Hit and Run Injures Two Children on Bicycles

Disturbing video has been released showing the moment a white Honda Civic fails to stop for a stop sign and plows into two children. The kids, aged 12 & 13, were in a residential neighborhood when the vehicle crashed into them.

Witnesses claim there were three people in the Civic, likely teenagers. After the collision, the driver of the Civic backed up and then fled the scene by taking a left onto El Molino way from Cottle Road.
