LOS ANGELES -- Authorities have arrested the suspected hit-and-run driver accused of striking a stroller as a mother pushed it across the street, killing an 11-month-old girl and injuring her five-year-old sister.

The incident happened around 6:10 p.m. Sunday at Bonnie Brae Street and Olympic Boulevard in the Westlake area, according to Officer Karen Smith of the Los Angeles Police Department.

The family was headed home from a laundromat when the driver struck the stroller with two children inside, police said.

The three were in a marked crosswalk at the time and other vehicles had stopped for them.

Witnesses reported seeing a Honda driver running a red light as he sped away after hitting the victims.

The 11-month-old was pronounced dead at a hospital. Her older sister was hospitalized in critical but stable condition with a fractured skull and a fractured arm, police said.

The mother had minor injuries.

Police said the victim would have turned 1-year-old at the end of the month.

A witness followed the suspect's car, got the license plate number and gave it to police.

Investigators then found the suspect's black 1991 Honda abandoned near Staples Center at 12th Street and Figueroa Avenue. They also had surveillance video of him ditching the car, police said.

Officers were able to track down 30-year-old Henry Moreno and arrest him around 11:30 p.m. Sunday, said Officer Sara Faden of LAPD's Media Relations unit.

Moreno was being held at Parker Center on suspicion of vehicular homicide.

"It appears he was driving under the influence when the accident occurred," Faden said.

Police have not released the names of the victims.

I don't have a car and I worry about this all the time.

When I cross the street with the stroller, I walk kind of to the side of it, so that if we were hit, the car would hit me first. I know it probably wouldn't do much, but still, I'd hope it would save my baby from grave harm.

I hope this bastard gets death. To leave the scene of a hit in run is cowardly and just sickens me. That he was driving under the influence, pisses me off to no end. These two siblings are almost the same age as my two boys. I'd want this bastards head on a stick for taking my baby and my son's brother.

Rest in peace sweet baby girl...may your sister heal completely.

yup. i walk toward the outside of the street so in case a car comes up on the curb, it hits me first and will slow before it hits my baby girl. If my husband is with me, it's him, then me, then my daughter. So, that way there's less of a chance of her dying on me.

I'm happy that the witness followed the car and got the information because I don't think anyone would've found him. I'm sad that the baby didn't live to see one because of this asshole. Hopefully, her sister survives.

Holy shit! I did that too! to the side..!!!! I also make sure cars were in fact, STOPPING, I DONT ASSUME!!! Hello people its fucking dumb ass people, you gotta pay attention!!!! I always would turn them backwards on the sidewalk so when I checked for cars around other vehicles, only my head would be exposed where many women push the stroller out and then look...

Many have died stepping out...or their kids have, it's always tragic. I feel bad for the mother. Surely with two she might of been distracted but I know she is in terrible pain losing her baby and seeing her other so hurt....sorry.
