Baby in stroller survives after aunt killed by vehicle

Nebraska State PatrolLEXINGTON, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska State Patrol says a Lexington woman died and the infant she was pushing in a stroller was critically injured when a vehicle crashed into them.  The patrol says in a written release that 32-year-old Alejandra Zamora was pronounced dead at a hospital shortly after the 9 p.m. crash.

Two-month-old Eileen Arredondo was flown to Omaha Children’s Hospital.  Zamora was pushing the infant, her niece, when the two were hit by a sport utility vehicle driven by a 25-year-old Lexington woman. The infant’s 24-year-old mother was walking with them at the time, but was not injured.

The patrol did not give other details of the crash, including whether the victims were in the street or on a sidewalk when they were hit or whether the driver faces charges.
