“Prior to police arrival, Delta Fire Department firefighters and good Samaritans came to the aid of the female driver and two young children,” stated a news release.

“The children have been transported to hospital for observation, with no apparent injuries noted.”

The driver of the vehicle was also taken to hospital and received medical care.

Police are investigating the incident as a criminal matter.

“The area was busy with commuters at the time of the incident,” added the release.
