A 64-year-old woman, who was in the front seat, was in serious but stable condition, as was a 12-year-old girl, who was in the back seat.
Four other passengers, ranging in age from 1 to 10, had minor injuries.
Bryan Cheplic of the Emergency Services Department said seatbelts may have saved their lives. "Everybody was restrained and that's probably what saved them from being ejected," he said.
