Police: Mom's 110-mph run from cops ends in baby's death

ALVARADO, Texas (AP) -- A woman led police on a 25-mile high
speed chase until she crashed into a concrete median, killing her
9-month-old daughter in the collision, authorities said.

Alexxus
Riza was thrown Friday night from the SUV, which rolled several times
under an Interstate 35 overpass, said Trooper Dub Gillum of the Texas
Department of Public Safety. The vehicle struck a traffic light before
hitting the concrete barrier, officials said.

Aimee Andrea Riza,
36, of Keene, sustained minor injuries and was charged with
manslaughter, evading arrest, resisting arrest and reckless driving,
Gillum said. 

"She
was combative after the crash when they tried to extract her out of the
vehicle," he said. "The officers had to wrestle her to get her under
control."

A motorist had called the Somervell County Sheriff's
Department to report a reckless driver. When Riza refused to stop,
authorities chased her through two counties at speeds up to 110 mph,
Gillum said.

Authorities used spikes, tried to block
intersections ahead and backed off the SUV hoping it would slow down.
But Riza continued to drive until she crashed, traveling on the rims
after the SUV's tires were deflated, Gillum said.
