FLORIDA -- A baby was killed, and two other children were injured when their grandmother crashed a car while trying to avoid something in the road in Hillsborough County.
Florida Highway Patrol says the Hyundai Elantra was driving north in the outside lane of I-75 when the grandmother veered left to avoid debris on the interstate -- just south of Fletcher Avenue.
The 50-year-old Brandon woman lost control and crashed into the center guardrail.
Two of her grandchildren children, a 10-month-old baby, and an 8-year-old were ejected from the vehicle, authorities say.
The baby died, according to FHP. The 8-year-old and a 3-year-old were injured, law enforcement said.
The surviving children were taken to Tampa General Hospital, along with their grandmother.
Investigators say none of the kids were wearing seatbelts.
