YORK COUNTY – A toddler was ejected from a car during an accident on Thursday afternoon.
It happened about 4:30 at Hampton Highway (Route 134) and York County Road (Rt. 600) in York County. It involved three vehicles.
Sgt. Michelle Anaya with the Virginia State Police said a Chevy Malibu that was traveling southbound on Hampton Highway went through a red light. It hit a Chevy Sienna and that's when a two-year old child was ejected from the Malibu.
The Malibu then hit a pickup truck that was stopped at a stop sign.
A seven-year-old child in the Malibu was also hurt.
The children were taken to Riverside Hospital with serious injuries.
Michael Sawyer, the children's father, is charged with running a red light, reckless driving, and failure to secure a child in a child restraint.
Police say alcohol was not a factor.
