A second child has died and their mother is still recovering from her injuries after a crash that involved a suspected stolen vehicle in Northern California.
Noe Saucedo, 23, remains in jail in Martinez, and his bail was set at $1.1 million, the ABC affiliate report said.
The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s office formally charged him with murder, felony evading, possessing a stolen vehicle, and possessing methamphetamine and heroin.
A white Ford 250 that he was driving exited on Highway 4 on Wednesday while speeding. A deputy was following him, and he drove through a red light, hitting Cardoza’s vehicle.
“Clearly the suspect Saucedo took a series of actions that led to this tragedy,” the sheriff’s department said.
Lenexy died in the crash.
