Alcohol might have been a factor in a crash early Sunday near Lancaster that left six children injured, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Two of the children were in critical condition.
The crash occurred at 6:15 a.m. when a 2002 Toyota Sequoia drifted off Avenue I -- a two-lane paved road -- and onto the dirt shoulder near 65th Street East. The vehicle flipped and some of the children were ejected from the sport utility vehicle, according to the CHP.
Two critically injured children were airlifted to Antelope Valley Hospital. Four other children were transported to the hospital with moderate to minor injuries.
The children ranged in age from 10 months to 11 years old.
Stanesha Nicole Allen, a 31-year-old resident of Lake Los Angeles, was taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to authorities. The injured children were also residents of Lake Los Angeles, but their relation to Allen was not immediately clear.
Allen remained hospitalized Sunday and will not be booked until she is released from the hospital, according to authorities.
