A 10-year-old involved in a crash in Riverside was hospitalized in critical condition, police said.
The child was sitting in the back of a 2007 Honda Accord with a 24-year-old Quail Valley resident behind the wheel on Sunday, June 14, headed east about 8:25 p.m. when it struck a 2005 Lexus IS300 that was going west on Alessandro Boulevard and turning south onto Northrop Drive, Riverside police said in a news release.

The driver of the Lexus, a 31-year-old Riverside resident, was also taken to a hopsital with minor injuries, the release said.
The cause is under investigation and anybody with information was asked to call the Riverside Police Department at 951-826-8720.
