A crash in the Carver Shores area of Orange County on Thursday evening left a woman and nine children hospitalized, according to Orlando police.
In a release, troopers said that two cars — an Alfa Romeo and a Nissan Altima — had been traveling east on Raleigh Street near Campanella Avenue just before the collision.
However, the Alfa Romeo driver failed to see the Nissan ahead, causing the Alfa Romeo to strike the rear of the Nissan, troopers explained.
Following the impact, the Nissan ran off the right side of the road, ultimately striking a tree, the release shows.
Troopers said that nine children in the Nissan were taken to hospitals with serious injuries. One adult in the Nissan was also hospitalized.
Four of the children have since been discharged while five children and the adult are still in the hospital at the time of this report, according to a spokesperson for Orlando Health.
