MESA, AZ — A toddler and a woman are injured after a crash in Mesa Friday.

At about 5:30 p.m., emergency crews were called to the area of Val Vista Drive and McKellips Road for a crash involving a vehicle and a truck.

Mesa police officials say a dump truck collided with a blue car turning left onto McKellips from Val Vista, pushing it into a utility box.

There were two people inside the car, a woman and a two-year-old. They both had to be cut out from the wreckage and were taken to Banner Desert Hospital with serious injuries, officials said.

Police said Saturday that both the woman and child are in stable condition.

The driver of the truck was evaluated and taken to a hospital as a precaution.

The dump truck driver was also evaluated for impairment, but none was found.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
