5-Year-Old Girl Suffers Skull Fracture When Glass Bottle Thrown From SUV in Corona
Investigators are seeking a person who threw a glass bottle from an SUV in Corona on Friday afternoon, striking a 5-year-old girl in the head and fracturing her skull and collarbone, authorities and family members said.
The seemingly random attack took place shortly before 2:40 p.m. along Lincoln Avenue, just south of Bayfield Drive, Corona Police Department officials said.
Karla Zosoyas was walking home from school with her brother and sister on a sidewalk when an SUV passed by heading south, according to police and the victim’s family. The bottle was thrown from within.
The little girl was bleeding from her head and nose, said witness Pedro Ruvalcaba, who was passing by and stopped to help.
The injured girl was being treated in an intensive care unit at a children’s hospital, family members said. Doctors were working Saturday to relieve pressure in her skull caused by a brain bleed.
“I just remember looking down and seeing my little sister on the ground,” sister Maria Zosoyas told KTLA.
“I feel really bad for her. She’s such a young age and she has to suffer through this, and she doesn’t really know what’s happening fully,” the sister said.
“For my family, everyone’s scared and angry, because whoever did this obviously was heartless. They didn’t care,” she said.
The SUV was a large, silver or gray SUV, described as possibly a Chevrolet Tahoe, police said in a written statement. It had collision damage on the front, driver-side corner and was fitted with dark six- or eight-spoke wheels.
After the attack, the SUV turned onto westbound Railroad Street, South and Smith Avenue and was last seen heading north on Sherman Avenue,

Texas Woman Accused of Lighting 5-Year-Old Stepdaughter’s Face on Fire as Punishment
A Texas woman is accused of pouring alcohol on her 5-year-old stepdaughter’s face then setting it on fire.
Dalia Jimenez, 20, of Grand Prairie, faces a charge of felony injury to a child.
Jimenez initially told officers responding May 13 to reports of a child with burns that the girl was hurt while trying to light a candle, according to KTVT.
After investigators questioned her about several inconsistencies, Jimenez allegedly admitted to dousing the girl in rubbing alcohol and using a lighter to set fire to her face.
Jimenez told police she did it because the 5-year-old had been “yelling previously in the home,” KTVT reports.
The girl suffered burns on her cheeks down to her jawline, with smaller burns on her shoulders.
Grand Prairie Detective Greg Parker said during a press conference that Jimenez is believed to have left the girl’s injuries untreated for two days.
Child Protective Services has removed the victim and her younger sibling from the home. KDFW reports that the father was not home when the incident happened and is not expected to be charged.
