Now they say it was 2 boys and 1 woman killed, 2 women seriously injured".
That's because they where reporting on 2 separate fatal accidents within an hour and there was probably some confusion with the press

Two children and a woman have been killed after the car they were travelling in flipped over on the M6 in Staffordshire.
Two boys, aged four and 10, and a 32-year-old woman died in the single-vehicle crash,
It was earlier reported that the three victims were all children.

Earlier on Christmas Day, officers were called to a collision on the B3349 Odiham Road near Basingstoke, Hampshire.
Two people in the car were pronounced dead, while a man, believed to be the driver of the vehicle, received medical treatment at the scene before being taken to hospital with serious injuries.
