Two children were hit by a car that had been speeding in Lynn, Massachusetts, on Monday morning, police said.

The children, a 10-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, were rushed to a hospital but are expected to survive, Lynn police said. They were hit at about 8:17 a.m. on Holyoke Street near Farrell Road.

Jeannette Mourdant, a neighbor, said she rushed over to help when she saw the children laying in the street, crying hysterically.

"I just did what I could. Took her glasses off, brushed the dirt out of her hair…telling hey everything’s OK. Mom’s right here. All these neighbors are here," she said.

The sibling's older brother told NBC10 Boston his brother has a broken arm and his sister is in a neckbrace with a fractured cheekbone.

Two parked vehicles were also hit by the car as well, police said. The driver stayed at the scene and was cited for unsafe driving and speeding.

The driver wasn't identified.
