SACRAMENTO, Calif — One of the girls hit by a car while walking home from basketball practice was released from the hospital Saturday.
Premilia Hudson told ABC10 her daughter, Rita Muhammad, was discharged from the hospital. The 16-year-old and her friend, Lavonia Ellison, were hit by a car Wednesday night.
Ellison, 17, is in a coma.
The accident happened next to Hudson's home, off John Still Drive in South Sacramento.
"When I got to the scene it was a whole different scenario," Hudson said. '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."
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."
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."
Investigators are asking anyone who may have captured video of the incident, or anyone with information, to call the police department immediately.
