Infant killed in rollover accident

A baby was killed and two other children were injured when the SUV they were riding in lost control and flipped. The real tragedy is that this death could have been avoided — police investigating the scene stated that the infant was not restrained in a car seat.

Erin Kinnard Thompson of the Bernalillo County Sheriff�s Office reports that a SUV rolled over at about 6:30 a.m. Officials initially said that nine people were in the SUV but later revised that to seven. It’s believed that all seven were related and on a trip from Texas to California.

Investigators say that it appears that a 16-year-old girl was behind the wheel of the vehicle and veered from one lane into another, hit the rumble strip, overcorrected and lost control of the SUV.
