Despite there being three children in the vehicle, ages 1, 3, and 5, King left the scene of the crash to seek treatment for his own injuries. The children were eventually found and taken to the hospital; the 3-year-old had critical injuries but is now in stable condition, and the two other children were not seriously hurt. King has been booked into jail and faces numerous charges, including driving under the influence; open malt liquor containers were found in the vehicle.
