The crash happened at about 6 p.m. on Interstate 20 near Farm-to-Market Road 429 in Terrell, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Authorities said the initial investigation revealed that a pickup truck rear-ended a Kia Optima, which caused the truck to go airborne and strike a Chevy Equinox on its way down.
All four people in the pickup truck were taken to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, including one in critical condition, according to Texas DPS.
