A pregnant woman and her two young children are hospitalized after a serious car accident in San Tan Valley.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office received reports around 5:30 p.m. about a crash involving two cars near Hunt Highway and Stone Creek Drive.

According to a PCSO spokeswoman, a woman was attempting to make a left-hand turn into a parking lot when her passenger’s side was struck by a truck heading northbound on Hunt Highway.

The woman’s car was pushed into a light post and a tree, officials said. She was driving with her 4-year-old and 5-year-old children. She is also six months pregnant.
