ORMOND-BY-THE-SEA, FL – A Yarmouth man was cited after a crash in Voulsia County, Florida on Thursday that injured four children. The Sheriff’s office reports that the four children were hit by an out-of-control vehicle that veered off A1A and onto the beach in Ormond-by-the-Sea. The good news is everyone survived and is going to be OK. The Sheriff’s Office says the body-camera video shows how brave these kids were, even after what had to be one of the scariest experiences of their lives.

The driver, William Johnson, 82, of Yarmouth was ticketed for careless driving. Officials filed to have his license revoked pending an exam. Johnson was also taken to the hospital and reportedly told officers he had no memory of the incident but did express concern for the children.

WARNING: The following body cam video may be disturbing to some viewers-again all of the children are expected to fully recover.
