Six children were aboard the go-kart when the crash happened around 12:30 p.m. at FM2727 and CR167.
KXAS reported a 7-year-old died at the scene and three children were airlifted and two were taken by ground to Children’s Medical Center Dallas.
A 12-year-old died of injuries at the hospital.
The children, who range in age from 6 to 12, went into the intersection with FM 2727 directly in front of a Chevrolet Equinox, which could not avoid the collision and struck the go-kart, according the DPS cited in the KXAS report. It’s unclear why the go-kart went into the intersection.
The SUV driver was not hurt.
The investigation continues and no charges have been filed.
