The man, believed to be in his 40s, had just bought the Pontiac G8 GT, Riverside police said.
He was doing donuts -- driving in a tight circle at high speed -- when he apparently lost control and hit a live power pole, police said.
The pole crashed to the parking lot in the incident, which was reported just about 4:30 p.m.
Police said the man and the children, one of high school age and the other younger, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
He'll be cited for reckless operation, police tell said.
