BATON ROUGE - A 19-year-old from Baton Rouge turned himself in after hitting a three-year-old girl with his car, arrest documents said.
An affidavit says Jose Soza was in an argument outside of an apartment near the corner of GSRI and Coy avenues around 11:30 p.m. Saturday when he got into his vehicle and hit the gas.
Soza reportedly struck a three-year-old girl who lost her leg and part of her intestines. Deputies say her mother and grandmother were in the path of the vehicle as well. Soza left the area without rendering aid.
