Three adults and four children were in the vehicle. According to police, a 1-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy were ejected from the vehicle and taken to the hospital. The baby girl was pronounced dead, and the boy was last reported to be in critical condition.
Officials say a 29-year-old man was also taken to the hospital in critical condition. Two other boys, ages 5 and 10, reportedly sustained minor injuries and were treated at the hospital.
