Five children were standing on a median in west Las Vegas waiting to cross the street just before 11 a.m. A car being driven by John Giraldo, 27, of Las Vegas then struck the median and hit the children before speeding away, police said.
Joshua Thompson, 7, and Cristina Guzman, 14, were treated and released at University Medical Center while Nicole Thompson, 11, and Daisy Guzman, 10, remained hospitalized Monday evening in serious condition. A fifth student, whose name was not available, was not injured.
Police located Giraldo shortly after the incident. He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of driving under the influence and felony hit and run.
Giraldo suffered minor injuries.
