Const. Ed Sanchuk said it appears the van rear-ended the buggy and one child in the buggy was ejected.
That child along with the other two children, who are all under the age of 10, and their 41-year-old father in the buggy were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
In a second update, Sanchuk said all four were listed in stable condition.
Sanchuk said the horse was also injured but is expected to live.
