LAKEWOOD — A 2-year-old child was critically injured and four other people were hospitalized Sunday afternoon after a single-vehicle crash in Lakewood that left a sedan wrapped around a light pole near Mae Boyar Park.
According to ABC7, the crash occurred shortly before 3:30 p.m. on Del Amo Boulevard east of Knoxville Avenue. Authorities said a white Toyota sedan slammed into a light pole on the sidewalk, causing extensive front-end damage to the vehicle.

Officials said five people were transported to area hospitals. The toddler was reported to be in critical but stable condition. The conditions of the remaining victims were not immediately available.
Investigators have not released details regarding what caused the crash, and the collision remains under investigation.
