Two Las Vegas residents suffered critical injuries when the car they were riding in slammed into a palm tree and rolled over.

A 2007 Kia Rio was traveling down Charleston Boulevard around 9:15 a.m. Sunday when, for an unknown reason, the car drove onto the median and hit a tree just west of Cahlan Drive, Metro Police said.

The 23-year-old female driver and a 20-year-old male passenger were taken to University Medical Center. Police said the crash is under investigation.
