1-year-old girl dies after being left in hot car all day in Texas: Sheriff

A 1-year-old girl has died in the Houston area after being left in a hot car all day, authorities said.

A 1-year-old girl has died after being left in a hot car all day in the Houston area, authorities said. On Thursday morning, the baby's mother drove three children -- ages 5, 3 and 1 -- to day care, where she dropped off the 5-year-old and 3-year-old, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said. The mother returned home and went about her day and apparently switched cars at some point, Gonzalez said. She returned to the day care late Thursday afternoon expecting to pick up three kids, but the staff told her only two were dropped off, the sheriff said.
