The incident took place on Sunday when the driver lost control of the car on Halol-Bodeli road near Bhat village in Jambughoda city. Ten members of the family were travelling in the car.
After the car fell into the ditch, locals rushed to the spot and rescued three of the ten people in the car. However, they could not save seven children.
