A Florida woman suspected of driving under the influence with her baby in the back seat of her vehicle got into an accident that caused her Jeep to flip on its side, and she allegedly left the child trapped inside. 

Early in the morning on July 25, a 21-year-old mother was driving in Clermont with her baby as a backseat passenger. According to reports, the woman had been drinking alcohol before getting behind the wheel. Around 4:00 AM, she was making a U-turn when something caused the vehicle to tip over onto its side and land in a ditch on the side of the road. The woman exited the Jeep, but she reportedly intentionally left the baby inside.

A bystander noticed the Jeep in the ditch and wanted to call 911, and the woman reportedly asked them not to call the authorities, but to help her retrieve the baby instead. They called for help despite her request, and officers from the Clermont Police Department went to the location.
