The child, whose name has not been released, was taken by ambulance to Primary Children's Medical Center. She was treated for minor injuries and abrasions, a hospital spokeswoman said.The driver, 36, is listed in critical condition at LDS Hospital.

The accident occurred at 5:30 p.m. when the vehicle took the 900 South off-ramp, struck a highway post, bounced back onto the road and rolled one-and-a-half times, trooper Cathy Slagowski said.
