The driver and a minor child were taken to hospitals Friday, Nov. 14, morning after a single-vehicle accident on Palisades Boulevard just north of El Lago Boulevard.

The vehicle was traveling northbound on Palisades when it crossed the median and southbound lanes into the desert on the west side of Palisades. The vehicle traveled about 100 feet from the roadway before coming to a stop.

According to Fire Chief Randy Roberts, injuries to the woman driving the vehicle were serious enough that she was transported to a trauma center for treatment.

According to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, passers-by removed a two-year-old boy from the vehicle and he was taken to a Valley hospital for evaluation of possible minor injuries.

MCSO is investigating the accident as possibly alcohol related. There were signs indicating this at the scene and deputies will await DPS lab testing before considering charges.
