Two children killed in Parwan school run tragedy

A mother whose son and niece died in a rollover west of Melbourne has revealed what happened moments before the crash.

The 34-year-old had just picked up seven children from school when the eight-seater 4WD rolled at the intersection of Nerowie Rd and Parwan-Exford Rd in Parwan about 4.30pm on Tuesday.

7NEWS understands the vehicle flipped several times before coming to a stop.

Her niece, seven-year-old Sarah El Hawli, died at the scene despite efforts to revive her.

The driver’s son, 11-year-old Ossama El Hawli, was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition but died overnight.

The five other children were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The woman was also taken to hospital and remains under observation.

She has since told family that she swerved to avoid rocks on the road before the crash.

Police said there was no apparent indication at this stage that speed, drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash.

Footage captured by the 7NEWS helicopter showed paramedics and other first responders working at the scene, where family members could be seen crying.

Detective Sergeant Tony Gentile described the scene as “hectic”.

“From my understanding, the scene was quite hectic, people everywhere, witnesses who witnessed it; they stopped and rendered assistance,” he said.

“Obviously, with seven children, they were distressed, and they were cared for by paramedics, members of the public and police.

“This is just a really sad set of circumstances. We ask the public to drive to the conditions and be mindful of their surroundings.”

It is understood Sarah and Ossama attended Al Iman College in Melton South, about 8km from the crash site.

They will be farewelled at a funeral service on Thursday, according to the Australian Islamic Centre.

The centre described the children’s deaths as a “heartbreaking loss” for the community.

“It is with profound sadness that the Australian Islamic Centre mourns the passing of Ossama El Hawli (11) & Sarah El Hawli (7), two beloved young members of our community, following Tuesday’s tragic accident in Parwan,” it said in a statement.

“Their loss has deeply affected our entire AIC community.

“Our hearts are with their parents, family and loved ones as they face an unimaginable loss.

“We pray that Allah Us surrounds both children with His infinite mercy, grants them the highest ranks of Jannah, and grants their parents and loved ones immense patience, strength and comfort.”

Investigations into the incident remain ongoing and anyone with information has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
