Her male passengers, ages 21,31 and 33, all from Port Huron, are being treated for injuries at different hospitals.
Police said the 21-year-old is in very critical condition in a Detroit hospital. He has an outstanding misdemeanor warrant for failing to appear in a Sanilac County Court on a destruction of property charge.
The 31-year-old is in critical condition at a Mount Clemens hospital. He is a parole absconder, they said.
The last passenger is also in critical condition at a Royal Oak hospital. He is wanted on a criminal bench warrant for failing to appear in court for a driving with a suspended license charge in Port Huron.
