The driver reportedly fled the scene, but later found near Spears and Watson, as well as the vehicle in a ditch. Officials did not identify the hit-and-run driver, but said the 17-year-old male was in custody and would be booked into the Harris County Jail for Failure to Stop and Render Aid.

Meanwhile, the 18-year-old was treated at the scene before she was rushed to a hospital after suffering life-threatening injuries.
