A pregnant woman and two children were sent to the hospital after being by a car Monday morning in Hopkinton, Massachusetts.
Hopkinton Police say the crash happened along Hayden Rowe Street around 10 a.m.
"When I got the call, it was horrible," said Chris Masters, whose 4-year-old son, Chase, was hit.
Masters's son was one of four people sent to the hospital, along with another child and the family friend that was pushing him in the stroller. Masters' wife was pushing the other child in a stroller behind her.
"When he got moved out of trauma, again he was just quiet," said Masters. "He took a little bit of a nap, but all things considered, he's doing well. We're just waiting to get some tests back."
Police say the group was walking in the crosswalk, headed to the park, when a 61-year-old woman from Hopedale stopped her car to let them pass.
That's when a 32-year-old man from Milford hit the woman's car, knocking her off the road. His car then hit the woman the children.
