Officials say the driver of a Buick was turning left from 43rd Avenue onto Peoria when a pickup truck traveling northbound collided with the Buick. Both drivers were evaluated for impairment, but neither was determined to be under the influence.

Officials confirmed a 29-year-old female, a 28-year-old male, and the 5-year-old girl were hurt in the crash.
