COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Five juveniles were crushed after a driver doing donuts tipped the car over in the parking lot of a Colorado Springs shopping center on Saturday night, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD).

Around 10:15 p.m., officers with the CSPD responded to a strip mall at the corner of S. Circle Drive and Monterey Road. Once they arrived, they found five juveniles with life-threatening injuries. They were all rushed to the hospital.

The driver was identified as Marisol Wentling. She was not seriously injured in the crash. Police arrested her on a charge of reckless driving. She also faces at least one charge of vehicular assault, CSPD said.

Based on the subsequent investigation, police said they believe a group of people met at the shopping center to do donuts in the parking lot. Five people got into Wentling’s car, which had the windows open, and sat on top of the door panels.
