4 children are reported killed and others hurt after being struck by a train at a gated level crossing.
The young victims were being transported to school in an electric cart operated by an adult. This past under the barrier and was struck by a train.
Some reports state the brakes failed on the electric cart.

I am sure that the bereaved and injured are in our thoughts :'(
