There were two children in the vehicle, the driver and a passenger who was also under 10 years old, police said.
The car was being driven by a child under 10 years old and carrying another child passenger under 10 when it clipped a vehicle, lost control, and struck a woman walking her dog, critically injuring the woman, police said.
