A car struck two children Wednesday near the intersection of Sunny Ridge Road and Bristol Lane in New Hempstead.

The Ramapo Police Department received a dispatch call around 3:30 p.m. reporting the incident.

Details on injuries and the children's ages have not been released.

Neighbors described the scene, with one resident noting a motorized bike lying in the road.

Residents expressed concerns about the area's safety, citing a lack of stop signs and speeding vehicles.

"It's a dangerous area," said Gabriel Alexandre, a New Hempstead resident. "There are signs saying 'children at play' and 'slow down,' but people come down here very fast."
