Baby Killed After Suspected Drunk Driver Crashes Into Shopping Cart In San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — San Antonio police say a suspected drunk driver crashed into a shopping cart in a parking lot, killing a baby who was sitting in the cart's seat as her mother unloaded groceries.
David Lee Roy Fuentes remained jailed Wednesday on charges of intoxication manslaughter and intoxication assault. A police report says Fuentes' truck careened into a discount store's parking lot, smashed into the cart and caused the baby to "fly out of the shopping cart."
The baby was identified by police as 1-year-old Corinna Tovar, who died at a hospital. CBS affiliate KENS reports the driver also struck a nearby vehicle, seriously injuring a woman who was loading groceries.
Jail records do not list an attorney who could speak on Fuentes' behalf.
A resident, Esther Martinez, told KENS she started a memorial for Corinna even though she doesn't know the family.
"I just couldn't go to sleep without knowing that I I could do something for the family," Martinez told KENS. "My condolences really go out to each and everybody of the family."
