According to a resident, who gave his name as Muyideen, “The Lexus SUV with number plate, LSD 356 GU, first crashed into a kiosk in front of the building before crashing into the building, at the spot where the children were playing.
“The children were rushed to the Isolo General Hospital, but the two children died, while the third, a neighbour’s son’s legs were broken, and is still in the hospital.
“The vehicle, which was driven by a lady with one occupant just left a hairdressing salon a few meters from the scene, when it suddenly lost control.”
