  "account": "Two children have tragically lost their lives and five others sustained injuries following a harrowing car accident in Parwan, west of Melbourne. The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon, shortly before 4 pm. The single-car rollover involved a seven-seater four-wheel drive carrying seven children. Tragically, a seven-year-old girl was killed at the scene. An 11-year-old boy, critically injured, was airlifted to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries overnight. Five other children were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver, a 34-year-old woman, was taken to the hospital for observation. Detective Acting Sergeant Tony Gentile described the chaotic scene, stating that numerous witnesses were present. Specialist ambulance resources, including two helicopter crews, mobile intensive care ambulance paramedics, and five advanced life support paramedics, remained at the crash scene near the intersection of Nerowie and Parwan-Exford roads well into the evening. Detectives are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident, which is located approximately 58 kilometers from Melbourne's central business district.",
