A full-size white pick-up truck was heading south on Highway 99 when it rear- ended a stopped car waiting to turn left (driver of this car was not injured).

The truck continued southbound, crossed the center line on Highway 99, near 63rd Street, and crashed head on into a northbound Mitsubishi Eclipse that was carrying 2 adults and 2 children.

The 2 adults (one male, one 27-year-old female) and 2 children (both boys) were transported by ambulance to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center with serious injuries.
