SALINAS (CBS SF) - A 6-year-old girl was ejected from a vehicle and killed during a solo-vehicle rollover crash on northbound U.S. Highway 101 in Salinas earlier this week, according to the Monterey County coroner's office.
Xitlali Molina, a Salinas resident, was one of six family members injured when the vehicle she was riding in overturned about a quarter-mile north of Laurel Drive around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Molina was declared dead at Natividad Medical Center about 40 minutes later.
