The teen has since been transferred to another hospital to receive further treatment, Lieutenant Todd Lefkowitz said.

The driver is not from the Chico area and stayed on scene with police after the incident.

Chico police said they do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash. The CPD Major Accident Investigation Team has taken over the investigation.

Chico police issued a traffic alert via social media shortly after the crash warning people to avoid Esplanade between West First Avenue and West Sacramento Avenue.

The names of the people involved have not been released.
