A 4-year-old died at the scene, and a 2-year-old and infant were injured. Their mother faces multiple charges in the crash.

BOERNE, Texas — A woman whose SUV rolled over on I-10 near Boerne is facing multiple charges after her three children were ejected from the vehicle, leaving one dead and the others injured.

Kianna Adams, 27, of Foley, Alabama, also was hurt in the crash, which closed eastbound lanes of I-10 near mile marker 539 for several hours Monday afternoon.

Star Adams, 4, died at the scene. Kianna Adams, a 2-year-old and an infant were transported to University Hospital in San Antonio.

Police said Monday that all three children were ejected from the vehicle in the crash and may not have been properly restrained in child safety seats.

  • Manslaughter, 2nd degree felony
  • Injury to a child causing serious bodily injury, 1st degree felony
  • Injury to a child causing bodily injury, 3rd degree felony
