A newborn was rushed to the hospital Monday afternoon, with Santa Clarita deputies shutting down intersections en route to the emergency room, officials said.

The incident was reported at about 3:45 p.m. Monday on the 25000 block of Hawkbryn Avenue in Newhall, according to Sean Rios with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
