RPD Commander Greg Bello said police went to the scene around 9:45 a.m. near the intersection of Lyell Avenue and Mt. Read Boulevard. Bello says a car carrying an adult and the three children crashed with another car driven by another adult.
The Rochester Fire Department later confirmed the two children killed were 11 years old and four years old. The child in the hospital is eight. RFD says the four-year-old was pronounced dead at Strong Memorial Hospital.
Bello and RFD say the two adult drivers are expected to be okay.

Bello described an "emotional scene" and said witnesses are incredibly distressed. Bello said one of the cars attempted to make a left onto Lyell from Mount Read while the other car was heading north on Mount Read.
"Obviously our hearts, our thoughts, and prayers go out to everybody involved, family members," Bello said. "As we go into the holiday season or any time of year, but especially the holiday season, to have deceased children is just crushing. I've got my own two kids at home. This is bothersome."

News10NBC Chief Investigative Reporter Berkeley Brean spoke to Jean-Paul Morales, a man who said he heard the crash and ran to help. He told Brean he cradled one child who he found hurt on the curb.
" [I] immediately turned right around and saw the baby in the car seat where there were 3 gentlemen there helping the baby," Morales said. "So I went to the, I'm going to say 6-year-old, and laid on the ground with him and held his head off of the concrete and just started talking to him telling him that it's going to be okay."
As for the crash, Bello would not speculate if any charges would be filed against either of the drivers.
