A woman and a young child were taken to Fort Worth hospitals in critical condition following a three-vehicle crash on Texas 114 near Rhome Thursday afternoon.

At around 3:45 p.m., a sedan, occupied by the critically injured woman and child, was struck by a three-quarter-ton pickup truck. A third vehicle was also involved in the crash.
