9 hurt, including two children critically injured, in three-car Thanksgiving crash in Carmichael
A total of nine people were injured Thursday afternoon in a three-vehicle crash in Carmichael, the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire Department reported.
The collision occurred about 2:30 p.m. on the 5000 block of Cypress Avenue near Walnut Avenue, Metro Fire spokesman Capt. Parker Wilbourn said. The cause of the wreck was not immediately known and it was not clear if all passengers were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash though airbags were seen deployed at the site.
Two children were transported to hospitals with critical injuries. One, a 9-year-old girl, went to Mercy San Juan hospital while a 14-year-old boy was taken to UC Davis Medical Center, according to dispatch reports.
The identities of the other occupants hurt were not known, but officials said that the injuries were considered minor.
Wilbourn said the other seven involved were also transported in unknown conditions.
