Bond for Ramirez was set at $300,000.

The crash happened on Friday at around 6:15 p.m. on the westbound lanes of the expressway near Tower Road, according to the Alamo Police Department.

Ramirez was the driver of a tractor-trailer that collided with a silver Dodge Durango, police said. He fled the scene following the crash and was arrested a few hours later.

The 5-year-old child was ejected from the vehicle and a passing nurse provided immediate first aid to the child, according to police.

The child sustained severe head trauma from the ejection, police said.

Two adults and three other children in the vehicle were also hospitalized with various major injuries, including head and leg trauma. On Saturday morning, police said they were released from the hospital with minor injuries.
