GoogleTwo people have been arrested after a boy and girl were killed in a hit-and-run crash in Essex.
The collision happened in Walthams Place in Pitsea, near Basildon, at about 18:25 GMT.
Essex Police said the car failed to stop at the scene.
A man and a woman have since been arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and failing to stop at the scene of an accident and were taken into custody.

Police appealed for information, particularly CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage.
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Hooper said: “My thoughts are with the friends and family of the girl and boy who have died this evening.
