Vancouver police arrested a 17-year-old early Saturday morning after he turned himself in for an alleged hit-and-run that injured a man and three young children the previous day.
The crash occurred around 3:20 p.m. Friday at the intersection of Southeast 136th Avenue and Southeast 7th Street, the Vancouver Police Department said in a statement.
A 30-year-old man who was injured in the crash has been hospitalized and is in critical condition, the department said. Three children aged 10, 7 and 6 suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect and his mother met with Vancouver police officers just after midnight Saturday. He was booked in juvenile detention after an interview with police. He faces four charges each of vehicular assault and felony hit-and-run.
Police did not immediately clarify whether the man and the three children were in a car or if they were pedestrians.
The crash remains under investigation.
