IRVING (1080 KRLD)- A mother has been charged after her baby daughter falls out of a car and killed in Irving.
Irving police say the baby was ejected in November, from a moving car and struck by another driver. They say it was not secured in a child safety seat.
Additionally, police say none of the four children inside the car were secured when a back door opened, and the baby fell out.
8-month-old Kassidi Smith was struck and killed by another vehicle on North MacArthur Drive near Ranchview Trail.
Police said in addition to the infant, there were three other siblings in the mother's car, ages 2, 3 and 6. They said none of the children were properly restrained in car seats, despite there being two car seats in the car.
Following an investigation, a warrant has been issued for Tangela Smith's arrest on charges of injury to a child causing death and three counts of endangering a child.
CPS has taken the three children from Smith, which are now in the care of relatives.
Smith currently lives in Louisiana.
