"These children come from a large and very well respected local family. My thoughts, and that of the wider community in Creggan, and neighbouring areas, are with their parents, and other family members at this time.
"We are all hoping and praying for their well being."
Alliance MLA David Ford said: "This accident is very distressing for the family and the many other people affected, including the emergency services and the drivers. I would offer my thoughts and prayers for a speedy and full recovery for the children."
