Eight people were injured, including three children, when a stolen SUV slammed into two cars on the Belt Parkway early Sunday, police said.

According to the NYPD, the driver of a white Mercedes SUV that was reported stolen out of New Jersey lost control and struck the rear of a 4-door Honda sedan.

The SUV then continued out of control and crashed into a Mitsubishi SUV.

Police say the driver of the Mercedes jumped out of the vehicle and fled the scene.

The driver is described to be a white or Hispanic male wearing a white tee-shirt.

A 59-year-old woman driving the Honda is in critical condition at Jamaica Hospital.

Three children in the car with her, ages 8, 7 and 4, suffered minor injuries.
