A teen hit-and-run suspect was arrested in connection with a crash that killed a toddler and injured her mother in Riverside County.

The suspect was identified as a 17-year-old boy from Perris, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The fatal crash happened near Steele Peak Drive and Palm Street in the Mead Valley area around 7:48 p.m.
