Six people were injured -- including three small children -- after they were ejected from a vehicle during a multiple-vehicle wreck at the I-59/20 interchange Tuesday night in Birmingham.

The three children were taken to Children’s Hospital while three adults were transported to various Birmingham-area hospitals following the Tuesday night wreck, according to Birmingham Fire and Rescue spokesman and Battalion Chief Sebastian Carrillo.

Neither the extent of the victims’ injuries nor how the multi-vehicle wreck occurred was immediately clear.

The accident occurred on I-59 by I-20 East.

Birmingham police were also investigating the accident, according to Carrillo, but a police spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
