A New Jersey mother has been charged in connection with the death of her infant son, whom she unintentionally crushed while moving a car on Saturday.
Wendy Castillo-Torres, 30, was reportedly washing cars on a friend’s driveway at around 6 p.m.
The mother placed her 10-month-old son in a bouncer seat between two cars while she washed the vehicles.
Castillo-Torres got into one of the cars to move it, putting it in drive instead of in reverse, crushing the baby who became trapped between the two cars.
“Our investigation indicates that this is a tragic accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.
The baby died from his injuries. Detectives learned that Castillo-Torres did not have a license and charged her with causing death while driving without a valid driver’s license.
