A New York City mother and her four children were taken to the hospital after being struck by a hit-and-run driver at a school bus stop.

The incident happened just before 5 p.m. Wednesday in the Flatlands neighborhood of Brooklyn. Police tried to pull over a white Mercedes-Benz for a traffic stop, they told FOX 5 New York. 

The driver of the car instead hit the gas, taking off just as the school bus had dropped the children off, plowing into the family. The force of impact sent the mother and her 5-year-old daughter under the bus.

The Mercedes then left the scene of the accident.
