AUSTIN, Texas — Police are investigating a crash where an angry driver rammed into multiple pedestrians before crashing into a food truck, causing it to catch fire, and then fled the scene. 

The crash occurred Tuesday evening in a parking lot in southeast Austin on Elmont Drive near South Pleasant Valley Road. 

A spokesperson for the Austin Police Department, Officer Austin Zarling, said that the incident started around 4:30 p.m. when a woman reported that her phone had been stolen. Officers investigated the alleged theft but couldn’t find the phone or the person who stole it. 

About 10 minutes after officers left, first responders received multiple 911 calls from that same location for a high-priority crash. 

When police, fire and medical personnel arrived in the area, they found multiple people on the ground injured and the food truck on fire. 

Capt. Christa Stedman, a spokesperson for the Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services, said one person was transported to a hospital with serious, but not life-threatening, injuries. Another person was also taken to a hospital, but they had minor injuries. 

Stedman said two other people were also treated for injuries at the scene.

Police say they believe the crash was caused by the woman who reported her phone being stolen. 

After officers left, the woman was angry and believed that the person who stole her phone was her child’s father, Zarling said. The woman then allegedly hit him and the three other bystanders before crashing into the food truck. 

The woman has not been arrested or charged, but police believe they have her information. 

Zarling said she could face charges of failing to stop and render aid as well as aggravated assault, family violence.
