RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Five teens are in the hospital tonight after a 34-year-old Racine man crashed into them on Sunday, March 9. 

It happened just before 1 a.m. when a Racine County Sheriff's Office deputy spotted a Chevy Camero driving over 90 MPH near 16th and Deane. The driver has been identified as 34-year-old Salvador Coronado.

Less than 30 seconds later, the deputy came upon the scene of a crash with the same Camero and a Chevy Impala at 16th and Taylor. 

Video captured by a neighbor on social media shows the aftermath of the crash. First responders were seen trying to extinguish the fire started by the crash. After, paramedics were seen helping an individual onto a stretcher. 

The driver, a 17-year-old girl, was taken to Children's Wisconsin by Flight for Life where she is suffering from life-threatening injuries. 

Two 16-year-old boys and two 17-year-old boys were also in the Impala. They were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. 

Coronado was previously convicted of operating a vehicle with a revoked license because of a prior OWI as well as fleeing and eluding and two counts of bail jumping. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison and two years of extended supervision in that case. Coronado was taken to a hospital with broken bones. He is currently under a hold from the Department of Corrections.
