Police are appealing for witnesses to the smash on the M1 in Bedfordshire at about 2.15pm on Friday.
Three people - a man in his 40s, a woman in her 20s, and a baby - were taken to hospital for treatment.
The woman, who sustained serious injuries, and the baby, remained in hospital, said Bedfordshire Police on Monday.
The crash happened on the northbound exit slip road at junction 11 and involved a black Audi, a white Iveco van, and a white Nissan van.
