The 17-year-old and two other passengers were hanging out of the vehicle when the driver crashed in the downtown St. Louis parking garage Saturday night, police say. Investigators say the passengers were injured either by hitting a concrete beam or falling from the moving SUV.

The 18-year-old woman driving the vehicle left the scene, leaving behind the teen, a 14-year-old girl and a 26-year-old man, police say.

All three passengers were taken to a hospital.
