The driver braked to avoid hitting the dog, but was then rear-ended by another vehicle, sending the first car into a mother pushing a stroller with 2-year-old twins on the sidewalk.

One of the girls died from her injuries, while the other was flown by a medical helicopter to Primary Children's Hospital in extremely critical condition. The mother was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
