Dallas police say five children were ejected when a pickup truck ran a red light hitting the SUV they were riding in.
It happened just before 1 a.m. at Garland Road and Buckner Boulevard Monday.
Police say the pickup was eastbound on Garland Road and ran a red light hitting a Lincoln Navigator broadside, spinning it.
A 13-year-old girl has severe head injuries. All of the injured were taken to Children's Hospital. The other children have bumps, bruises and road rash from being thrown into the intersection.
The Navigator was loaded with three adults and six children, police say the vehicle is designed to carry seven passengers so it's obvious some of the passengers were not properly restrained.
Police say the driver of the pickup tried to flee the scene after the crash but witnesses surrounded him and started taking pictures of him and his truck and kept him from leaving the scene.
Police say the driver of the pickup truck complained of neck and back pain, he was taken to Baylor Hospital. Police say they have him under guard and will be taking a blood sample to determine if he'll face intoxication assault charges.
Police say the pickup driver does not have a license.
Vehicle records show the owner of the Navigator was just nine minutes from home at the time of the crash.
Police say the intersection had red light cameras and witnesses said they saw a flash so officers say it's likely there is a photograph proving the pickup ran the red light.
