Teens still in hospital and no arrests after hit-and-run in South Sacramento

"When I got to the scene it was a whole different scenario," said Premilla Hudson, Muhammad's mother. "Totally different. I found Rita in a gutter. Her friend is just unconscious laying halfway in the gutter and in the street."

SACRAMENTO, California — Two teenage girls are still in the hospital after they were hit by a car walking home after basketball practice Wednesday night. 

The driver took off.

Rita Muhammad and Lavonia Ellison are still in the hospital.

Ellison is in a coma.

"When I got to the scene it was a whole different scenario," said Premilla Hudson, Muhammad's mother. "Totally different. I found Rita in a gutter. Her friend is just unconscious laying halfway in the gutter and in the street. I'm trying to gather their items and they're like, 'No ma'am, this is a crime scene.' So that's when it really hit me. I didn't really understand what was going on."

It happened right next to Hudson's home, off John Still Drive in South Sacramento.

"Everyday I keep thinking she's coming home, but she's not eating and she's having problems with her stomach," Hudson said. "Everything else is looking OK and I don't want to put much on it because I thought she was OK."

Ellison's mother has been by her side since Wednesday night.

"When she first came in they did an emergency surgery and now we're just waiting for her to heal herself and come back to us," said Shana Mays, Ellison's mother. "She's in a coma right now."

Muhammad was able to see her friend Ellison in the hospital. She wasn't aware of her condition until she saw her in her hospital bed.

"That was absolutely too much for her to handle," Hudson said.

Even though the mothers' priority is on making sure their daughters will be OK, they also want justice. No one has been arrested yet.

"Just have a heart and come forward and turn yourself in," Mays said. "That's the best thing to do."

"When she gets released, I'm scared for her to go to school cause she has to walk down that way," Hudson said. "I don't want her walking. I'm scared for her to be out because that person is out. We don't know who that person is and what kind of mind frame whoever it is but she has to go to school. She has to continue living."
