According Michigan State Police, the crash happened around 10 a.m. Wednesday at 7 Mile Rd. and Dixboro in Salem Township, northeast of Ann Arbor.
Officials with the MSP First District said the the driver of a Bronco Sport SUV blew a stop sign and hit a truck pulling an excavator, causing both vehicles to flip over.
The 30-year-old mother and her two young children — a 2-year-old boy and a 1-month-old boy — in the SUV had minor injuries. They were taken to the University of Michigan Hospital for treatment.
The truck driver was not hurt.

The investigation remains ongoing.
