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 13 children and the SUV's driver were taken to hospitals, and that at least four children were seriously injured. Parents and staff at Ralston Middle School used a jack and their collective muscle to lift the SUV and rescue the trapped children, said Belmont police Lt. Dan DeSmidt.
A woman who identified herself as Mauro Yan's wife but would not give her name told the San Francisco Chronicle that her 70-year-old husband was driving, and that he thought the SUV's brakes had failed.
