An Arizona woman being arrested for a car crash that killed a
5-year-old child had two words to say when informed that the boy had
died: "shit happens."
Those callous words were recorded by Glendale police officers while booking 24-year-old Aaronessa Keaton behind bars Monday for charges including manslaughter for last year's collision.
Court documents show that the Phoenix woman, who gave birth to a premature baby girl via C-section shortly after the Feb. 28, 2014 crash, was found with marijuana and sedatives in her system.
Those drugs were also found in her newborn's system.
What was a joyful ending for Keaton, however, was a nightmare for the other family that wasn't as lucky.
Authorities say Keaton first side-swiped an oncoming sedan before plowing almost head-on into an oncoming pickup truck.
Inside that vehicle, a 5-year-old boy was killed while a second child was injured.
In January charges were filed against the new mom for manslaughter, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and five counts of endangerment.
