After a 2-year-old girl was killed after getting ejected from a rollover crash in Hesperia, the child's father was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI and child endangerment, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
The car was also occupied by the man's three other children, ages 8, 5, and 6 months old.
The crash occurred in the 7500 block of Arrowhead Lake Road about 11:15 a.m., according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
The father, driving the white four-door Nissan Maxima, was heading south on Arrowhead Lake Road when he passed a slower moving vehicle, deputies said.
He lost control, and the sedan flipped, launching the 2-year-old from the car.
The child was airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center, but died of her injuries in the crash, officials said.
The other children in the car suffered minor injuries, deputies said.
