Bay City News —  Two 6-year-old children were seriously injured when a car driven by a 90-year-old man jumped a curb and pinned them against a wall in front of a pharmacy store in Menlo Park Thursday afternoon, according to police.

 Around 2:15 p.m., a 90-year-old man driving in the 600 block of Santa Cruz Avenue veered onto a curb, pinning the two young children against a wall at the Walgreens at 643 Santa Cruz Ave., police said.
