Two children feared dead, four in hospital, after falling through ice at frozen lake

Two children are feared dead after four were rushed to hospital after falling through ice while playing on a frozen lake. The children, who appeared to have been playing on the ice on a lake in Babbs Mill Park in Kinghurst, Solihull, were pulled from the water in below-zero temperatures on Sunday afternoon.

Emergency services said in a press conference on Sunday evening they were told six had initially fallen into the lake. Specialist equipment is being used as the search effort continues. Authorities said it would no "longer be a search and rescue" operation.

Four children were confirmed to have been taken to hospital where they are on life support, authorities said on Sunday evening in a press conference.
