An alleged drunk driver was arrested on Monday in San Antonio, Texas, for speeding into a dollar store parking lot, where he killed a baby seated in a shopping cart, police said.
A Ford Ranger pulled into the parking lot at a high speed as a woman was unloading groceries into her parked car from a shopping cart where the 1-year-old girl was in a baby seat. The mid-size pickup truck slammed into the woman's shopping cart, hurling the infant into the air, according to preliminary information from the San Antonio Police Department.
