A “careless act” has left Camryn Herriage, a recent college graduate from Dallas, in the ICU and on a ventilator almost a month after a hit-and-run crash left her friend dead, according to Herriage’s sister.

Local Fox News 4 in Dallas reports that Casie Campanello hasn’t left her sister’s side in the hospital since the accident last month.

Police arrested Carmen Guerrero in connection with the Feb. 11 crash that injured Herriage, 23, and killed her former Texas Tech roommate Sara House. Four others were injured in the crash, according to police.

According to jail records reviewed by PEOPLE, Guerrero faces a total of 12 charges and remains in custody at the Dallas County Jail. It is unclear if she's retained an attorney to speak on her behalf or entered a plea to the charges.

Guerrero, 27, faces charges that include one count of manslaughter, one for collision involving death, as well as five counts of collision involving serious bodily injury and five more for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The Feb. 11 crash has “put us in a situation that changed all of our lives," Campanello, Herriage’s sister, told Fox 4.

"We are very helpless and just stay strong for her, but it’s very difficult to see,” Herriage’s sister said.

"When she came out of her first surgery, the surgeon told us he told us he never saw anyone make it to the hospital with her injury," Campanello told Fox 4. "So she has a purpose."

According to the outlet, Dallas police say that Guerrero crashed her Ford pickup truck into the back of the vehicle with Herriage, House, and their four friends inside. The impact caused a chain reaction crash that sent the five survivors to the hospital, while House was pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash happened just blocks away from Herriage's house, her sister told Fox 4.

Fox 4 reports that Guerrero immediately fled the scene of the crash. The outlet reports that, according to an arrest warrant affidavit, witnesses at the scene alleged Guerrero got out of the driver’s side of the truck “wearing a small black dress and white clubbing shoes” and ran away. “The woman also appeared to be extremely intoxicated,” the arrest warrant affidavit said, according to the outlet.

Detectives at the scene were able to easily identify Guerrero in part because she left her wallet behind inside the car. She was taken into custody on Feb. 22.

Tariffs atop tariffs? White House says levies on Canada would be cumulative

Wrong, says the Trump administration.The White House said Tuesday that should all its trade actions take effect in March, it would indeed pile tariff on top of tariff, to reach the larger number of 50 per cent on some items.At the moment, the U.S. is threatening two actions: a worldwide tariff of 25 per cent on steel and aluminu

Where does the US get its steel and aluminum from?
STORY: With President Donald Trump targeting steel and aluminum, here's a breakdown of where the U.S. gets those metals.:: Steel Roughly a quarter of all steel in the U.S. is imported from neighbors Mexico and Canada or overseas allies like Japan, Germany and South Korea. Canada and Mexico accounted for almost 40% of U.S. steel imports in 2024.6.6 million net tons of steel mill products were imported from Canada and 3.5 million came from Mexico, according to U.S. Census Bureau data via the American Iron and Steel Institute. Brazil was the second-largest source of steel imports to the U.S. last year.:: Shanghai, ChinaWhile China is the world’s largest steel producer and exporter, very little of that is sent to the U.S.Most Chinese steel was shut out of the market when 25% tariffs were imposed in 2018. :: Aluminum Roughly half of all aluminum used in the U.S. is imported, with the vast majority coming from Canada. At 3.2 million metric tons last year, Canadian imports were twice the next nine countries combined, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The next largest sources of imports are the United Arab Emirates at around 347,000 metric tons and China at around 223,000 metric tons.The U.S. aluminum smelting industry is small by global standards. Total smelter capacity in the country was just 1.7% of the global total, according to the U.S. geological survey.

Trump's steel and aluminium tariffs target a deeper issue - but risk job losses and higher prices
Aluminium, on the other hand, is a wonder material we use with wild abandon these days. According to the US Geological Survey, America's "net import reliance ratio" for aluminium is close to 50%, implying it is deeply dependent on imports to satisfy demand among its companies. At least part of the idea behind tariffs is to bring some production back to the US, but imposing them will have consequences.
