The adult driver and one child were taken to Moore Regional Hospital, where they were treated and released Thursday. Three other children were airlifted to UNC Hospitals, where one of them was pronounced dead, authorities said.
Two children remained in the pediatric intensive care unit Friday morning. Investigators have not released the name of the driver or the children inside the car.
