A young child and a pregnant woman were fortunately not seriously hurt in a two-vehicle crash at Murphy Road and Wellington Street early Friday afternoon.

Sarnia police, fire and Lambton EMS responded just before 12:30 p.m. to a collision between a car and an SUV.

He said a pregnant woman in the other car went to hospital.
