Three children remained hospitalized Monday in the intensive-care unit at University of California-Irvine Medical Center. A 2-year-old girl was in critical but stable condition. A 10-year-old girl and a 6-year-old girl both were in stable condition.

The car they were all riding in crashed on a trip to church Sunday.

The cause of the accident was under investigation.

The crash damaged a power pole, causing lines to be downed and a power outage in the area that was affecting about 1,500 customers.
