PHOENIX — Three girls are among five people that were hurt in a possible DUI crash late Friday night in central Phoenix.

Phoenix police say it happened just before 10:30 p.m. near I-17 and Indian School Road.

When officers got to the scene, they found multiple people with serious injuries.

Five people in one vehicle, which includes the three girls, were taken to the hospital for treatment.

All five people are considered to be in stable condition.

Police believe the at-fault vehicle was heading eastbound on Indian School when the vehicle struck the other involved, which was traveling northbound on the I-17 northbound frontage road.

The driver of the at-fault vehicle initially ran from the scene.

Police say he was taken into custody by responding officers.

Alcohol is believed to be a factor, according to police.

The 30-year-old man has been booked on several charges in relation to the crash, including DUI and aggravated assault.
