WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (CBS12) — A Florida woman is behind bars after an alleged meth-fueled hit-and-run crash killed an 8-year-old and left a 10-year-old with serious injuries.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 30-year-old Victoria Johnson of Winter Haven on Thursday after investigators said she fled the scene of the tragedy and attempted to report her vehicle stolen to cover her tracks.

The incident unfolded just before 8:30 p.m. Wednesday outside Faith Baptist Church on Crystal Beach Road as the two boys were attending a church function and briefly crossed the street.

As the children attempted to cross back, deputies say Johnson’s truck struck them without stopping.

The 8-year-old boy was killed on impact, and the 10-year-old victim was rushed to Arnold Palmer Hospital with a broken arm, a broken femur, and a compound skull fracture. He remains in critical but stable condition.

Using surveillance video and debris, authorities say they narrowed their search to a dark SUV.

The break in the case came on Thursday when Johnson called the Sheriff’s Office to report her 2009 blue Hyundai Sante Fe stolen, but when deputies arrived at her home, she was gone.

Arrest records show Johnson gave deputies three conflicting stories, first saying her car was stolen, then claiming she loaned it to someone who never returned it, and then saying she gave it to a man named Corey Stewart to “get rid of it.”

While Johnson was being taken in for questioning, deputies say they spotted her damaged Hyundai on SR 60 in Lake Wales.

The driver, Corey Stewart, and a passenger, Mya Bass, led deputies on a brief pursuit before barricading themselves inside a home. Both were eventually taken into custody and charged with resisting arrest.

Investigator questioning revealed that Johnson advised that she is a regular methamphetamine user and had used methamphetamine before driving her vehicle on the night.

Johnson was booked for counts of:
