AUSTIN, Texas — A driver is on the run after hitting several pedestrians and a food truck in southeast Austin.
Police said they received a call from a woman around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday about a disturbance on Elmont Drive near South Pleasant Valley Road.
The woman told police her phone was stolen, but officers couldn't find any suspects at the time. Ten minutes after the initial report, a high-priority call came in about a crash at the same location.
When officers arrived, they found four people who appeared to have been run over along with the food truck which had caught fire. Two of the people were taken to the hospital following the crash, with only one suffering serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said after further investigation, it appeared the woman who called about the phone theft was upset with the suspect and tried to run the person over. She then hit the person, along with apparent innocent bystanders before hitting the food truck.
According to police, the woman faces charges of failing to stop and render aid and aggravated assault - family violence after attempting to run over her child's father who she accused of stealing her phone.
Police said they have a good idea of who the woman is, but don't have a vehicle description at this time.
Meanwhile, authorities with Austin-Travis County EMS and the Austin Fire Department were able to treat the victims and put out the fire. Authorities did not identify any of the victims but said they were all adults.
