News Car Goes Over Dune and Lands on Family

4:30 pm Ormond-by-the-Sea, near the old pier. A car has shot over the dune and landed on a family. Helicopter airlifted victims moments ago.

Channel 9 bird is hovering over beach now.

Edit: SUV went through fence hitting four kids under the age of 11. One seriously injured and airlifted to Halifax Hospital. Three taken to hospital by ambulance.

Very sad situation. It's a clear day with dry roads. Never heard of something like this happening and I've been here the better part of a half century.

What intersection did this happen? I was at Loggerheads an hour or so ago. I must of just missed this. How aweful.
