A 4 year old girl and a 24 year old woman were injured in a convenience store parking lot at Horne and Ayers Saturday afternoon after they were hit by a vehicle.

A 1999 silver Dodge Durango hit the woman and the girl at about 5:20 Saturday afternoon. The two injured people were taken directly to the hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

The three occupants of the Durango exited the vehicle and ran from the scene without providing any aid to the two injured people. Corpus Christi Police Officers quickly arrived and located all three individuals who ran from the Durango.

Corpus Christi Police Officers discovered a 22 year old man allowed an unlicensed 14 year old to drive the Durango. The third occupant was a 12 year old boy.

Charges of allowing an unlicensed operator to drive the Durango, will be applied to the 22 year old man. The 14 year old boy and the 22 year old man will have charges of Fail to Stop and Render Aid applied along with the possibility of citations for traffic violations which led to the crash.

Crash Investigators are still on scene at the time of this report as they interview witnesses, review video, photograph the scene and take measurements. Investigators expect to impound the Durango and decide the next course of action for the three occupants of the Durango.
