A 3-year-old girl is dead after a fight in the front seat of an SUV caused a rollover crash, according to Texas police.
The vehicle was traveling along Highway 288 late on Sunday, Oct. 29 with six children inside, when the crash occurred, Houston police said in a news release.
The children’s 29-year-old mother was driving and the father, 35, was riding in the passenger seat when police say they got into an argument.
Investigators say the father grabbed the steering wheel, causing the mother to lose control and crash.
The SUV smashed into a concrete barrier, police said. The adults and children were taken to a hospital, where the 3-year-old was pronounced dead, investigators said.
Two other children are in critical condition and three are stable, according to the release.
An investigation is continuing, police said.
