A man, woman and two toddlers are dead in Central Texas after they were slammed from behind by a sport utility vehicle as they walked along a frontage road after their car broke down.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says the man and woman were walking with the children, a 1 year old girl and a 2 year old boy, Thursday night alongside the Interstate 35 frontage road, about 15 miles north of Waco, when they were struck.
DPS Cpl. Charlie Morgan says a sport utility vehicle crested a rise and slammed into the four from behind, hurling their bodies about 100 feet.
The the relationships of the victims are unclear.
The driver of the SUV was interviewed, but no charges are filed.
