According to a SAPD preliminary report, a 22-year-old man driving a Volkswagen — with the 3-month-old inside — traveled westbound on Ingram Road when he allegedly made an illegal left turn into an apartment complex.

Police said two pickup trucks, a black Chevrolet and a white pickup truck, were speeding behind the 22-year-old man’s vehicle.

As the Volkswagen made the improper left turn, the 21-year-old driver in the black Chevrolet rear-ended the Volkswagen and redirected it into the eastbound lanes of Ingram Road, police said.

Officers said the 21-year-old driver then exited the Chevrolet, entered the white truck and fled the scene.

The 3-month-old child was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries, SAPD said.

The department said another juvenile was inside the Volkswagen at the time of the crash. It is unclear if they suffered any injuries.

No other injuries were reported.

Authorities said the Volkswagen driver, who remained at the scene, was evaluated and found to be intoxicated. The 22-year-old man is facing two charges for driving while intoxicated with a child under 15 years old, SAPD said.

Police said the 21-year-old man was located shortly after the crash. He is facing one charge of collision involving serious bodily injury.
