A preliminary investigation found a Chevrolet Suburban was heading east on 23rd Street S when it over corrected and ran off onto a soft dirt shoulder.

This caused the driver to go into a center median and the Chevrolet was hit on its passenger side by a blue Ford F-150 that was heading west on 23rd Street S.

The driver and the child were transported to area hospitals in critical condition. The driver of the Ford was also taken to a hospital in critical condition.
