"The shocking recording shows the front passenger door of a black SUV opening and a tiny body tumbling out and skidding along the asphalt as the vehicle makes an eastbound turn onto West Malvern Avenue from North Euclid Street in Fullerton. The SUV then makes a sudden stop, causing the driver of a sedan traveling behind it to slam on the brakes. The car grinds to a halt just inches away from the child."
"The woman in the video was later identified as the child's mother, 35-year-old Jacqueline Hernandez of La Habra. She was booked at the Fullerton City Jail on Sunday, according to police and the Orange County Sheriff's Department inmate information center. The toddler sustained injuries consistent with the fall, was transported to the hospital for treatment and is expected to make a full recovery, police said."
