6-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl hit by car while waiting for school bus on Carr Street in Paris, Arkansas

The youngsters were sitting on the edge of Carr Street in the Logan County town when the driver, who lives down that street, turned onto it about 7:24 a.m. and struck them, Howard said.

The driver "was blinded by the sun" and couldn't see the children, Howard said. "I know that the sun was very blinding to me this morning" in the same area.
