A 23-year-old man has been charged with a hit-and-run, DUI crash with a toddler in his car in Anaheim, police said Thursday.
Mario Saul Osorio Jr. crashed a Honda Accord about 6 p.m. Monday into several parked cars near Anaheim Boulevard and South Street, near his residence, Anaheim police Sgt. Matt Sutter said.

Osorio kept going with witnesses in tow, and police caught up with him a short distance later, Sutter said.
A boy, who will turn 2 in October, was in the back seat and sustained a minor injury, Sutter said. The boy was released to his mother and did not need hospital care, Sutter said.
Osorio pleaded not guilty Wednesday in the jail courtroom in Santa Ana to a felony count of child abuse and endangerment, misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood-alcohol content of .08% or more and hit-and-run with property damage as well as an infraction for driving without a valid license. Osorio was next due in court for a pretrial hearing Aug. 14 in the North Justice Center in Fullerton.
Osorio was accused of driving with a blood-alcohol content of .20, over the legal limit of .08, according to the criminal complaint.
