Authorities say a girl born after a car crash in California that claimed her mother's life has also died. Fresno County Sheriff's spokesman Tony Botti said the newborn died early Monday at a hospital.

The driver of the Kia, 24-year-old Adriana Solorio Romero, was also killed. The 10-year-old was taken to a hospital in critical condition., the AP reports.
