Six people, including three children, were involved in a major traffic collision Monday at Edison and Oaks avenues in Chino.
After investigating the incident, Chino police believe David Deseran, 23, of Chino, was driving westbound on Edison in a white 2004 Toyota Tacoma, Chino spokeswoman Michelle Van Der Linden said. As he approached Oaks, he tried to merge into the left turn lane and was rear ended by a black 2003 Lincoln Navigator, driven by Robert Saucedo, 32, of Chino.

Deseran had head trauma from the collision and was flown to Loma Linda University Medical Center in critical condition, Van Der Linden said.
Ryan Harris, 22 and Mike Hernandez, 26, from Chino, were in Deseran's truck during the collision. Harris also had head trauma and was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in critical condition.
Hernandez had a fractured left leg and was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center where he was listed in stable condition.
Saucedo was not injured.
Longe had cuts on his head and left leg and was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center where he was listed in stable condition.
The passengers in Longe's truck were 9, 10 and 12 years old. The 9-year-old, who suffered from stomach pain, and the 12-year-old, who had a fractured left elbow, were taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in stable condition, Van Der Linden said.
The 10-year-old did not have any injuries but was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center for precautionary reasons, Van Der Linden said. The child was examined and released to a parent.
