MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman, her daughter and her niece were sent to the hospital after a crash in Whitehaven, and Memphis Police are still looking for the suspects responsible.

On Tuesday at 7:33 p.m., officers responded to the scene of a crash at Parkdale Drive and Tulane Road. 

The driver said she was on the 400 block of E. Shelby when someone asked for her car and hit her on the head with an object. When she drove away, the person began to follow her in a black Chevy Silverado, according to police.

The pickup truck hit the rear of her car after following it at a high speed, causing it to overturn and hit a tree, police said.

The woman's daughter was taken to LeBonheur Children's Hospital in critical condition, while she and her niece were sent to local hospitals in non-critical condition.

Memphis Police said there were three men responsible for the crash. Officers found their truck at the Marathon gas station 4145 Neely Rd., but they drove away, going northbound on Neely Rd.
