An infant was killed in a crash over the weekend after a San Joaquin County sheriff’s deputy rear-ended a vehicle and caused the driver to lose control, authorities said. The deputy was driving a patrol cruiser north on Interstate 5 near Charter Way in Stockton when the vehicle rammed into a woman’s Ford sedan shortly after 10:30 p.m. Saturday, according to a news release from the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Department. After the car came to a stop, the deputy removed the child from the vehicle and began performing CPR, sheriff’s officials said. Both the woman and the deputy were taken to area hospitals with injuries, while the infant was flown to a children’s center. The woman was in critical condition as of Sunday afternoon, according to reporting from the Stockton Record.
