The incident, which occurred around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, serves as a stark reminder of the need for caution and adherence to traffic rules.
According to authorities, the two children were riding in tandem on the motorized bike when they allegedly disregarded a stop sign, leading to a collision with an oncoming car.
