York County, S.C : Two children critically injued in a head-on crash in York County on Saturday, March 14, 2015
A head-on crash in York County sent six people, including multiple children, to the hospital Saturday.
Authorities said the accident on Saturday involved two SUVs on Alexander Love Highway.
Police said an adult and child were in one car, and an adult and three children were in the other car.
Two children were taken to Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte in critical condition, officials said.
Both drivers were treated and released from Piedmont Medical.
Workers from a nearby veterinary clinic jumped in to help before fire and EMS arrived.
“I mean it was really a horrific, horrific scene,” said Carrie Smith, a witness.
Smith showed reporter Blake Hanson where two SUVs crashed.
She pulled up seconds after the cars collided, before first responders arrived.
“Oh gosh, the cars were just mangled, absolutely mangled,” Smith said.
Smith said everyone was hurt, but among the worst was a little boy.
“My daughter, she put her little jacket under his head to hold his head up,” Smith said.
Smith saw one person giving the boy CPR.
“You had one lady that went above and beyond her job trying to bring life back into this little baby,” Smith said.
Smith wonders how the victims are doing now.
“I didn't do much but pray for him,” Smith said. “Put my hand on him and pray for him."
Police haven't released the names of those involved or updated conditions.
