A mother and her three small children were transported to Barstow Community Hospital on Wednesday afternoon with minor injuries following a two-vehicle collision at the Avenue H and West main Street intersection.

Barstow police responded to the collision just before 1:50 p.m. on Wednesday and found both vehicles blocking the eastbound lanes at the intersection. One was overturned.

The pickup truck overturned but the man was not transported to a hospital and only complained of shoulder and arm pain, authorities said.

Police said the woman driving the Ford, and her three small children, were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
