Texas Mother to be Charged in Auto Accident Death of 2 Children

A Texas woman is to be charged with two counts of criminal negligent homicide after her children died in an auto accident while she was driving.  The 19 year old mother was driving north on Highway 87 and crossed over into oncoming traffic, colliding with a garbage truck.  Her two children were killed at the scene and the woman, Saira Romero, was taken to the hospital with broken bones.

The woman’s one year old child was wearing a seat-belt, which is not legal in Texas.  One year old children must be restrained in a child safety seat appropriate for their age and height.  The woman’s 5 year old child was neither wearing a seat belt nor was she in a child safety seat.

The woman is being charged with criminal negligent homicide as both children should have been properly restrained in the vehicle.  According to police, Romero was also driving too fast.
