**Related Video Above: The history of calling 911 BEACHWOOD, Ohio (WJW) -- A 3-year-old girl has died and two people have been charged following a crash into an outdoor dining area in Beachwood over the weekend, police confirmed Tuesday. Beachwood police said an investigation revealed an 18-year-old woman was driving through the Pavilion Shopping Center parking lot Sunday, June 21, around 1:30 p.m., when her vehicle hopped a curb and she drove into where people were eating outside at City Barbeque. The car reportedly hit a 3-year-old child who was there with family, police said. The child was taken to the hospital for treatment but succumbed to their injuries. Police have identified the driver as Jasmine McFadden of Euclid, and said she has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide. An arraignment for McFadden was held at the Shaker Heights Municipal Court Tuesday, and she did not offer a plea. Her bond was set at $100,000. Police said a 61-year-old passenger in the vehicle, identified as Kenneth McFadden, initially told officials he was the one driving. He has since been charged with obstructing official business and wrongful entrustment. His arraignment is set for next month, after posting $10,000 bond. "The Beachwood Police Department extends its deepest condolences to the child's family and loved ones," Beachwood Police Chief Dan Grispino wrote in a statement. "We also recognize the impact of this incident on family members, witnesses, first responders, restaurant employees and others affected by this tragedy." An investigation into what led to the crash is ongoing.
