CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — The Corpus Christi Police Department’s Traffic Unit is investigating a major crash on SPID near Weber Road Sunday afternoon.

According to police, they were dispatched to the 3700 block of SPID (westbound) in reference to a major traffic crash around 12:15 p.m. When the officers arrived, they found two adult females — a 41-year-old woman and a 20-year-old woman— suffering major injuries.

Police say medics transported both females to a hospital with "life-threatening injuries." Then two teenagers, ages 14 and 13, and three young children, ages 3,1, and an infant, were also transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

"Investigators with the Traffic Unit arrived and began their investigation. They found that the vehicle had stalled on the on-ramp westbound from Weber Road. The two adult females had exited the vehicle and were standing in front of the stalled vehicle," said officials with CCPD.
