The sheriff's office said two of three people in the SUV were hurt, including a female front seat passenger with non-life-threatening injuries, and a woman in the back seat in critical condition. The back seat passenger, reportedly not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the car when it veered into the grass median and struck a tree.
A third vehicle was also involved, and its driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to deputies. Everyone injured was hospitalized at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center.
The 18-year-old uninjured Camaro driver allegedly ran off, leaving her 16-year-old female passenger behind. Deputies caught the driver hiding at a gas station. She's facing a charge of failure to stop and render aid.
