Fortunately they weren't going too fast and no one was hurt. Just slight damage to the cars.
Thankfully most of the people who drive into our neighborhood park and walk around. The ones that drive along while the kids walk make me nervous. It adds so much driving traffic to the roads, and sometimes they're watching their kids on the sidewalk instead of the road. There are even a few where the kids are getting in and out of pick-up trucks but thankfully those are rare.
