Based on a preliminary investigation, officials believe one of the vehicles involved in the crash ran a red light. BPD is unsure which vehicle ran the red light, but one of the vehicles involved had a three-year-old not properly buckled into the car seat, according to BPD. Officials confirm that the toddler is in critical condition.
