A hit-and-run driver struck a woman pushing her 1-year-old grandchild in a stroller, putting the grandmother in critical condition and causing the baby to die Christmas morning, authorities said.
The child, Amara White, was being pushed on Londondale Parkway in Newark, Ohio, just before 3 p.m. Wednesday when both were struck by a vehicle. The driver did not provide aid and immediately took off, police said.
A 36-year-old man, Cory J. Bush, was arrested at his apartment hours afterward, police said, and the vehicle was located, police said. According to police, he admitted to investigators to being distracted just before striking the victims.
The Licking County prosecutor's office will decide whether aggravated vehicular homicide and other charges are warranted.
