Limerick Police Chief Bill Albany reported a black Toyota Celica failed to stop at a stop sign on Cemetery Road, and was hit by a tan Lexus going south on N. Limerick Rd.

The driver of the Toyota has internal injuries and is going to Lehigh Valley Hospital for possible intensive care, according to Albany. The driver of the Lexus has generalized complaints of pain, and was taken to Pottstown Memorial Medical Center.

Miraculously, the occupants of the van did not sustain any injuries, including the child.

"The vehicle overturned and landed on its roof," Albany said. "The child was wearing a properly-designed child restraint system. The grandmother was belted in with her seatbelt and they walked away from a pretty horrific crash with no injuries."

The scene was cleaned up and traffic opened back up by 10 a.m.
