Octavia Watkins and her friends, aged eight to 14, had been to the Creekside Community Pool in Crowley, Texas, when they were met by Kisha Young, 39, and Octavia’s mother. It was a one-minute trip from the pool to home but the women did not want the girls in Young’s Chevrolet Malibu in case their wet bathing suits damaged the vehicle’s upholstery, The Star-Telegraph reported. The girls were made to sit on the roof of the car but four of them were thrown off when Young went around a corner. Watkins and Octavia’s mother, who had been drinking, were unaware of what happened until a witness flagged down the car, NBC reported. Octavia was knocked unconscious in the fall, suffering severe head injuries. She died in hospital after being kept alive by life support. “I’ll never get my baby back,” Octavia’s father Desmond told Fox 4 News. “I’ll never hear her say, ‘Hey, Daddy.’ I’m gonna have to live with that; they’re have to live with their fate.”
