Update: Police Confirm Toddler Dead in Car Accident

Update: Los Angeles County Coroner's officials have identified the toddler as Leiana Ramirez, who was "here barely 11 months." Witnesses have told the Los Angeles Times that several motorists and neighbors, along with the girl's mother, tried to rescue the child. Some tried to use buckets of water, a fire extinguisher and a garden hose while other motorists simply stopped to look at the wreckage without getting out of their vehicles.

An officer with CHP said that at least three people were taken to Huntington Memorial Hospital to be treated for burn injuries.
