According to Avondale Deputy Fire & Medical Chief Ben Avitia, crews responded to an area near Van Buren Street and Dysart Road for a crash involving a car and pedestrians.

"An adult female with an infant child in her arms and an adult male pushing a double stroller with two children inside were crossing Van Buren Street, and were accidentally struck by a vehicle traveling at a moderate rate of speed," read a portion of the statement.

Avitia said of the five pedestrians, an adult female and an infant girl were taken to area hospitals immediately, while an adult man and two other children were treated at the scene, and then transported to a hospital.

All patients, according to Avitia, are expected to survive.

The person who was driving the car at the time of the crash was not hurt, according to officials.
