A 6-year-old girl died and three others were injured in a head-on collision Friday night near Newport, according to the Delaware State Police.

A 29-year-old woman was driving east in the left lane of West Newport Pike at 8:54 p.m. Friday, according to police, when her 2016 Toyota Corolla collided with a 2006 white Buick Rendezvous. The Buick was heading west and crossing over into oncoming traffic, where it hit the Corolla head-on, according to police.

The Toyota, which had a 6-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy inside, rotated in a "clockwise direction" after impact, police said. It came to final rest in the left lane of Route 4, according to a news release.

The 29-year-old driver of the Toyota was eight months pregnant, police said, and she was taken to a local hospital, where the baby was delivered. They both are in critical condition, according to police.
