A child was flown to a hospital and at least three adults are hurt after a crash in Northeast Washington, D.C. Monday involving several vehicles, officials said.

D.C. Fire and EMS says it responded to the eastbound side of the 2800 block of New York Avenue NE, near Bladensburg Road, about 10:30 a.m.

The child was inside one of the vehicles and airlifted with serious injuries, officials said.

One adult had critical injuries, another had serious injuries and a third had minor injuries. They were taken for treatment via ground transport, D.C. Fire and EMS said.

D.C. police closed off New York Avenue NE past Bladensburg Avenue for several hours, but the road has reopened.

Traffic on the westbound side of New York Avenue slowed to a crawl as several emergency vehicles responded. The U.S. Park Police’s Eagle helicopter also responded to the scene, fire officials said.

Officials earlier said that a dump truck was involved in a crash, but later said there was no dump truck.
