BREVARD COUNTY • INDIAN HARBOUR BEACH, FLORIDA (WFTV) – Two young brothers were struck by a car in Indian Harbour Beach while they ran to see Santa Claus, the city’s volunteer fire department said.

The children, Gregory and Verdell, were hit Sunday evening on South Patrick Drive near Parkside Place as the Indian Harbour Beach Volunteer Fire Department was participating in the Santa Run, authorities said.

Their last names were not given.

The department said firefighters who were escorting Santa witnessed the incident and rendered aid to the children until Brevard County Fire Rescue arrived.

“(The driver of the truck) actually saw in the mirror he said that it was like hands and legs fly up in the air, so he immediately came to a complete stop and made a U-turn and went back to protect the scene,” said Chief Todd Scaldo.
