18-year-old Ivy Adkins and a 14-year-old girl were hurt in the crash.

The 14-year-old is out of the hospital and undergoing rehabilitation.

Adkins is still in a coma and underwent surgery on her skull last week.

She is being treated at Lynchburg General Hospital.

Riddle is currently being held without bond at the Blue Ridge Regional Jail in Lynchburg.
