On Thursday night, police in Dallas began a search for an illegal alien who crashed his SUV into a telephone pole and then fled the scene, leaving his three injured children behind, in two different locations.

According to police, a 9-year-old boy, 6-year-old boy, 5-year-old girl and 11-month-old baby boy, were in the Ford Expedition with their father when the accident occurred, just after 11:00 p.m.

The 9-year-old boy told police that his father had been drinking.

When the SUV spun out of control, hitting the pole, the force was so great that the 5-year-old girl was ejected through the rear window. Apparently, while she was in a child safety seat, she was not belted into the seat.

Neighbors, who ran outside after the crash, found the little girl covered in so much blood they something initially thought she was a dog who had been hit.

Witness Stephanie Clemons told DFW.com: “She was still just shaking and crying. When everybody asked her questions, she wouldn’t have nothing to say. She was just shaking and crying.”

The man immediately sped from the scene, leaving the injured little lying in the street. He then drove to a park and grabbed the 11-month-old and ran away on foot, leaving his two other children inside the vehicle.

The father ran to his mother-in-law’s house, handed her the baby and quickly fled the scene. At this time, he is still at-large.

The injured children were taken to Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. The 5- and 6-year-olds were placed in the Intensive Care Unit, with head injuries. The 6-year-old underwent surgery and is in stable condition. The 5-year-old has suffered some brain swelling.

The 11-month-old and 9-year old were not seriously injured.

Olgalivia Salazar, the children’s aunt, told reporters: “I mean I know a lot of people hit dogs and just keep going. A lot of people who have a heart will stop and see if the dog’s okay. So I would think a dad would do the same thing, stop and say, hey where’s my kids. I don’t care what happens to me. I want to make sure my kids are okay.”

Though he is not in custody, Dallas police have charged the illegal alien with two counts of injury to a child and one count of child abandonment. Detectives are not releasing the suspect’s name at this time out of fear that he will flee the country. He has been previously deported to Mexico.
