She was rushed to Basildon Hospital intensive care unit suffering from severe head and internal injuries after the accident in which her 27-year-old mother, who was driving, suffered broken ribs and collar bone.
The mum and daughter, both from Basildon, were trapped in the wreckage of their Ford Escort for 45 minutes as fire crews cut the roof off to free them.
Their car was involved in a head-on collision with a Nissan Primera on Stanford Road outside Orsett at about 4.30pm yesterday.
The driver of the second car, a 63-year-old man from Orsett, suffered ankle injuries in the crash. Today the little girl was in a serious but not life threatening condition.
