COLUMBIA, S.C. — A driver is facing a citation and a woman is recovering in the hospital after a crash that happened on Thursday in downtown Columbia.

Around 3:15 p.m., police confirmed that that the woman was "stable" following the crash. The driver has since been cited for failure to yield the right-of-way.
The crash happened in close proximity to the University of South Carolina.
