5 Crash Victims, Including Child, Hurt In North Austin Crash

NORTH AUSTIN, TX — Emergency crews on Thursday rescued five crash victims pinned to a vehicle, including one patient with life-threatening injuries and three teenagers and a child sustaining less-serious injuries.

Less injured but still requiring hospitalization were two teenagers and a child, medics reported. The critically hurt patient and a teenager were transported to Dell Seton Medical Center, while another two teens and a child were rushed to Dell Children's Medical Center with injuries that were not expected to be life-threatening.
