The group, all believed to be aged under 12, were riding their bikes to get ice cream when a four-wheel-drive is alleged to have ploughed into them. New South Wales Police later stated that a 29-year-old driver had tested positive in a roadside breath test. Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, a family friend said the father of the children has lost 'half of his six kids' in the incident. One woman was screaming out: 'Save them, save them'," they said. "Tonight before you sleep we ask that you remember in your prayers a young Maronite family from our Parish who has been devastatingly affected by a serious accident," the Living Maronite Facebook page posted.
