Burks was driving while working for DoorDash with his cousin, Thompson, in the backseat, and Harris, in the passenger seat.
Burks remains in the hospital with broken ribs.
Harris had to be taken to the hospital by helicopter. He remains on life support.
According to her mother, Thompson has already been through multiple surgeries and is now being transferred to Texas Children’s Hospital.
