Grandmother Indicted, Charged In 9-Month-Old's Death

EL PASO, Texas —

A grand jury indicted a grandmother last week in the death of her grandson.

El Paso County sheriff's deputies said Maria Honesto, 59, was driving a pickup truck when it crashed into another vehicle.

Honesto was charged with manslaughter, injury to a child and criminal negligent homicide, said deputies.

An investigation conducted by deputies indicated that her 9-month-old grandson, Emilio, was seated in a bouncing chair and not a car seat.

The accident happened at Doniphan Drive and Canutillo Avenue on March 26.

Honesto hasn't been arrested because she is still hospitalized and in serious condition.
