PHOTOS: Six people were injured in a two-vehicle crash that sparked fires Tuesday afternoon in Lakewood, according to West Pierce Fire and Rescue and Lakewood police. Crews responded around 3:54 p.m. to the 3200 block of South 84th Street, where a westbound Subaru collided with a Chevrolet Tahoe turning onto the road to head east, police said.

Both vehicles caught fire. The Tahoe came to rest next to a house, where flames melted exterior siding but did not spread inside, officials said. No one in the home was injured. Five people involved in the crash were taken to the hospital, including the Tahoe’s driver; an adult female passenger who suffered a serious head injury; and two children under 10 who were in the back seat. The Subaru driver, a man in his 20s, was also taken to the hospital. One additional person was treated at the scene.
