Springfield Police say a man and two children were hurt after their mini-van crashed through a fence near Kansas and Sunset this morning.

Sergeant Tom Royal says its unclear why the driver lost control.

The man, who's in his 20s, had minor injuries from a head injury.

He was awake, but not very alert when police arrived.

Two kids, ages five and seven, also had minor injuries.

One of them called 9-1-1, telling dispatchers their "Daddy was dead."

Police say there were no car seats in the mini-van, and no signs that anyone was wearing a seatbelt.
