FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Police say a mother and two children were injured when they were hit by a car in Fairfax County but that their injuries are non-life-threatening.

Police said in a statement that the accident happened Tuesday just before 3:30 p.m. at the intersection of McNair Farms Drive and Centreville Road. Police say a 20-year-old driver was turning right onto northbound Centreville Road when she hit the woman and her children, who were crossing McNair Farms Drive.
