CLEARWATER, FL : 17-month-old baby girl seriously injured in motorcycle crash in Clearwater on Thursday, 8th April 2021

A 17-month-old child has been hospitalized after a crash in Clearwater Thursday evening, police say.

Clearwater police say crews responded to a motorcycle crash just after 5 p.m. near Engman Street and Roosevelt Avenue.

They say the infant was sitting on her stepfather's lap while he was riding a motorcycle before he crashed after running a stop sign. The child was taken to All Children's Hospital where she is in critical but stable condition, police say.

Her stepfather was taken to a separate hospital to be "medically checked out."

Charges are pending, officials say.
