TAYLORSVILLE, Utah — At least five people were injured in a hit-and-run crash that involved four vehicles in Taylorsville late Sunday night, and a 21-year-old has been charged with failure to stay at the scene of an accident and reckless endangerment.
Teiciaz Luseane Faka'Osiula was arrested on Wednesday following an investigation. She is being held without bail as investigators say she already faces a DUI charge in Millard County.
According to Taylorsville Police, a truck was heading south toward 4700 South and Redwood Road when it went off the road and struck a power pole before continuing southbound.
The truck hit two other vehicles during the incident, causing one of them to roll, while another vehicle was also hit by debris. Following the crash, one person was extracted from the wreckage, and a vehicle was left on its nose, propped up against a traffic signal.

Two vehicles were also pushed into a retaining wall outside of Dee's Family Restaurant.
The people inside the initial truck ran from the scene. Investigators reviewed footage of the crash and say Faka'Osiula could be seen walking away from the truck. Detectives then matched the images of Faka'Osiula from the surveillance video to her registration for the vehicle.
Officers also noted that Faka'Osiula appeared to be impaired at the scene of the crash.
Five people were taken to the hospital with what were believed to be minor injuries.
