The Hocakadays were upgraded to fair condition Monday after suffering a broken leg and rib fractures.
Police say the driver fled the scene but was later found on Leestown Road and taken into custody. Iraola-Lovaco has been charged with DUI, leaving the scene of an accident and three counts of first degree assault.
