An 11-month-old boy days away from celebrating his 1st birthday was killed after authorities say a man suspected of driving under the influence crashed into him and his parents as they walked on a California sidewalk.

According to the outlets, authorities say Daniel Patrick Lenihan of San Clemente, Calif., was allegedly driving under the influence of drugs, when he jumped the curb and struck the Ohlwilers as they pushed 11-month-old Madden in his stroller on a sidewalk in Mission Viejo, Calif.

Family friend Laura Dunn told KTLA, “They were doing absolutely nothing wrong except for spending a beautiful Sunday together.”

Lenihan, 54, was arrested on charges of DUI and manslaughter. Records indicate he has since bonded out of jail.

It’s unclear if he retained an attorney to comment on his behalf or if he entered a plea to the charges.
