Tragedy on the Highway
 


San Felipe, Baja, Mexico

Tragedy befell a family of San Felipe hotel workers as they were driving to Mexicali and suffered a road accident which left an eight month old baby dead and injured Denisse Astrid Stroller, her parents Bernice Leon Monroy, 28, and Jose Alfredo Reyes Stroller, 25..

Federal Preventive Police reported that the accident occurred after three in the afternoon just north of La Ventana. Being the first authorities to reach the site, they found an overturned white Mitsubishi car with Baja 2011 plates.

When the paramedics arrived there could be nothing done for the infant so efforts were focused on the mother, who was both physically and emotionally distressed. The family of Red Lobster Hotel employees were taken to Mexicali where they received medical treatment.

As yet the cause of the accident is unknown. The infant apparently was not secured in a car safety seat.

Representatives of the Attorney General's Office were sent to the site to investigate the accident, determine responsibilities and to take charge of the removal of the small body, which was sent to a forensic expert at the morgue.
