A 6-year-old girl who was a passenger in one of two vehicles involved in a two-vehicle crash at 12:27 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Seltzer Road and New Street in Norwegian Township was seriously injured, according to state police at the Schuylkill Haven barracks.

Police said she was ejected from the vehicle and transported by personnel from the Schuylkill EMS unit to the Lehigh Valley Hospital-East, Pottsville, and later taken by ambulance to the Lehigh Valley Hospital, Salisbury Township.

They said the last update on the girl’s condition is that she is listed as “critical” and was expected to be transferred to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Police said the crash happened when a 19-year-old man was driving southbound on Seltzer Road and his vehicle began to slide around a left curve. They said its back passenger-side quarter panel struck the front driver’s side bumper of a vehicle operated by a 60-year-old woman.

Three other passengers were in the vehicle, including a 37-year-old woman and two other children, a 9-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy.

Police said the woman who was driving the second vehicle sustained minor injuries and was transported by emergency personnel to the Lehigh Valley Hospital-East.

Police were also assisted at the scene by personnel from the Minersville EMS, Yorkville Fire Department and Fire Police and the Seltzer Fire Department and Fire Police.
