She says information surrounding the crash is still being pieced together.
"We do know that they lived nearby, and they were on their way home after being at eShowe Hospital earlier in the day. We did sadly find both boys in the yellow lane along with their mother.
“She was in a serious condition. Unfortunately, it was very traumatic incident. She was not able to talk to us about what had happened, but a lot of community members and her members had come out and were on scene."
