A woman is in critical condition after the vehicle she was riding in was struck by a stolen vehicle, St. Petersburg police say.
The crash happened about 2:40 p.m. at 18th Avenue S. and 25th Street S. when a stolen Hyundai Sonata hit a PT Cruiser at the intersection, police said.
Police said an officer was flagged down after someone in the Hyundai pointed a gun at someone, then sped down 18th Avenue. There was no police pursuit.
The passenger, a 46-year-old woman, was taken to a local hospital with critical injuries. The Cruiser's driver, the passenger's 61-year-old mother, received serious injuries and was taken to a hospital.
Three people in the Hyundai were arrested shortly after the crash. A fourth person fled but was arrested.
Taken into custody were Carl McKinley, 20; Lazarius Faulk, 19, Clifford Washington, 19, and Jaquez Rouse, 18.
Charges are pending.
The Hyundai also struck a power pole, shutting the intersection for hours. Traffic reopened on 18th Avenue late Saturday.
