One child is in critical condition after multiple crashes involving 50 cars occurred on the Grapevine.

According to CHP, shortly before 3 p.m. there were an estimated four to five separate crashes in the area of southbound I-5 just south of Frazier Mountain Park Road with 50 cars involved. CHP says a low-hanging cloud in the area caused low visibility in the area.

CHP says one child is in critical condition.

According to Caltrans, the southbound I-5 lane is open, however the 3 left lanes are closed until 9 p.m.

This is a developing story. We will update you as more information becomes available.
