we have more news from south san jose where a child has been hit and killed. robert handa has just arrived at the scene of the crash. robert what are you seeing there? >> reporter: we've been here for 15 minutes and we are seeing a very chaotic and horrific scene. as you heard at the top of the show san jose police responded to what turned out to be a fatal accident involving a driver in that silver lexus suv and a woman and two children shortly after 3:30 this afternoon. now as we reported the child, a 5-year-old girl was severely injured and died here at the scene. the woman who police say is a family member but not necessarily the mother was taken to a near by hospital. and as you reported a little while ago, we have been told by
5:31 pm
police that a 2-year-old girl, the sister of the girl that was killed was also hit by the vehicle. she was 2 years old. she was apparently taken inside a house by family members. possibly to try to treat her. and they, paramedics were able to go inside, get her and she was also taken to the hospital. only about 20 minutes ago. police say they believe that she is suffering from nonlife threatening injuries. now, of course all of this is still under investigation. police say that the driver of that silver suv has voluntarily gone down to the police station to be questioned. and that is where he is right now. police say at this point, they do not believe that drugs and alcohol were involved. but of course, traffic investigators as you can see are still on the scene and still investigating. we will have more information as it comes to us. but that's going on right now. reporting live if -- live in san jose, robert handa. >> have you been able to determine at all where the accident happened? where these three people crossing the street when they
5:32 pm
were hit. >> well, we can only go by what we can see here by the scene. but the silver suv was stopped shortly after the accident and you can see that it's in the middle of the street. unfortunately you can see that the 5-year-old girl is still in the middle of the street. so since they haven't touched anything expect for covering it up. we would assume that most of the action and most of the accident took place in the middle of the street. we can assume that since the family lives near by, something involving them crossing the street or leaving the street had something to do with the cause. and paul chambers has new orter: each year about 10,000 people died on our roadways due to alcohol related crashes.
5:33 pm
