A six-year-old girl has been left fighting for life while three children and two adults were injured in a horror crash.
Emergency services rushed to the intersection of King Road and Penfield Road in Virginia, north Adelaide, following reports a Toyota van and Toyota ute had crashed shortly after 11am on Sunday.
The six-year-old girl, who was a passenger in the van, was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
Also in the van were a 42-year-old Murray Bridge woman and two other children, aged 11 and 10, who were all hospitalised with minor injuries.
A 37-year-old Virginia man and a four-year-old girl in the ute were also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The intersection was closed to traffic until about 5.30pm while police and Major Crash investigators examined the scene.
It's understood at least three motorists have been killed at the same intersection in the last three decades.
'Been living on this over here for about 25 years and there's been multiple accidents,' nearby resident Terry Arharidis told Nine News.
