Police allege the truck braked aggressively in front of the SUV and when the SUV tried to avoid a collision, it rolled through the median before coming to rest along a fence. A child under the age of five was ejected from the vehicle and airlifted to hospital with what police described as life-threatening injuries. Four others in the SUV — two children and two adults — were also in serious condition and taken to the hospital by ground ambulance. Police say the suspect vehicle did not remain at the scene and are asking anyone who may have seen the crash or may have dash cam footage to contact them.
