The 5-year-old child was ejected from the vehicle and a passing nurse provided immediate first aid to the child, according to police.

The child sustained severe head trauma from the ejection, police said.

Two adults and three other children in the vehicle were also hospitalized with various major injuries, including head and leg trauma. On Saturday morning, police said they were released from the hospital with minor injuries.
