Police are searching for a driver who rolled his vehicle off a Loop 1604 bridge on the North Side and then fled the scene, leaving his child behind in the wreckage.
The child's mother had been following the driver, and she reported the crash around 10:30 p.m. at Loop 1604 and Blanco Road, according to police.
Police said the driver took a wide turn onto Blanco Road, drove through a barricade and rolled off the bridge onto Loop 1604.
Paramedics found the child with a broken leg and transported her to University Hospital.
It is unclear why the mother had been following the driver and why the driver fled. Authorities are now searching for the driver.
