A man driving a Ford Mustang around 9 p.m. Saturday hit the family’s car on the North Freeway frontage road at W. Parker Road. The impact caused both cars to spin out of control, with the family’s SUV hitting a light pole.

Police said the children in the car were an 11-year-old boy, a 9-year-old girl, an 8-year-old boy and an 18-month old girl.

The children and their parents were taken to Memorial Herman in serious condition. Authorities said two of the children were in critical condition.
