PHOENIX — Seven kids have been hospitalized after a multi-vehicle crash in west Phoenix Sunday evening.
Phoenix firefighters say the collision happened at the intersection of 71st Avenue and Buckeye Road.
When crews arrived on scene, they located a van on its side after it collided with another vehicle.
Officials say a 16-year-old boy, a 14-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy were transported to nearby hospitals in critical condition.
Four other children including a 12-year-old boy and girl, a 2-year-old boy, and a 6-month-old baby girl were transported to the hospital in stable condition.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
