A California mother drunkenly crashed her car into a canal — and left her 4-year-old daughter in the backseat of the submerged vehicle as she went home to take a bath, prosecutors said.
Juliette Marie Acosta, 26, had a blood alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit when she allegedly crashed into an irrigation canal on March 8 near Hickman, a small town east of Modesto, according to the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office.
The allegedly intoxicated mom left her submerged car, where her daughter, Reagan Herrin, was trapped in her car seat. Acosta was “located taking a bath while her daughter remained in peril at the crash scene,” the DA’s office said in the Saturday press release.
Reagan’s uncle, who lives nearby, helped pull his niece from the Subaru when police arrived on the scene, officials told the Sacramento Bee. The tot was rushed to a local hospital, where she died the following day.
