Two drivers and a young child were injured in a vehicle crash Friday afternoon on Tucson's south side, police say.

The child was taken to a hospital in serious but non-life threatening condition, according to Sgt. Pete Dugan, a Tucson police spokesman.

Detectives are investigating whether impairments were a factor in the crash.

Motorists should avoid the area.
