A two-car, rollover crash at the intersection of 144th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard in Broomfield around 11:30 a.m. Saturday left four people injured, officials said.
Broomfield police said Daniel Barrales, 22, was driving a van with his wife and two children when he ran a red light at the intersection.
The van clipped an oncoming SUV, officials said, and rolled onto its roof. No one in the SUV was hurt.
Barrales’ wife, whose name is being withheld by Broomfield police, was taken to an area hospital with minor injuries.
The couple’s 5-month-old son was airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Denver, said Wendy Forbes, spokeswoman for North Metro Fire Rescue.
A police spokeswoman said the couple’s 2-year-old daughter was taken to a hospital by ambulance with minor injuries. She said neither of the children’s injuries were life-threatening.
Barrales was arrested at the scene and booked into the Boulder County Jail on suspicion of careless driving resulting in injury and driving without a valid license. He was being held Saturday on $1,000 bond.
