A man accused of driving drunk, fatally striking a toddler in City Heights with an SUV, then leaving the scene, was ordered Friday to stand trial on charges that include murder.
According to Deputy District Attorney Hailey Williams, Angeles Vargas has never owned a driver's license.
As the 4Runner turned onto the street, Annaleeh and three of her siblings were crossing the roadway about midway down the block at an unmarked crosswalk. After the girl was struck, she was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead just after 1 a.m. the following morning. Prosecutors also allege he stopped and purchased food from a street vendor at some point after the fatal collision.
Inside the 4Runner, officers found an opened beer can in the center cup holder and empty beer cans on the floorboard of the backseat.
