SULPHUR, La. (AP) - Authorities say a Christmas night wreck has killed a 6-day-old baby.

The infant was in an SUV that left a Sulphur road, jumped a driveway, hit a culvert and overturned.

The driver was not cited and the baby’s a juvenile, so neither is being identified, sheriff’s spokeswoman Kayla Vincent said Thursday. She said they were from Sulphur.



The driver and two other passengers were treated for minor injuries after the 10:30 p.m. crash, according to a news release.

Vincent did not know whether the baby was in a car seat. The crash is still being investigated.
