One-year-old Zarion Robinson died after a 31-year-old woman, described as a 'family friend,' stole his mother's car with Zarion inside. The woman, whose driver's license was suspended, crashed the stolen vehicle head-on into a van at the intersection of North 35th Street and West Hope Avenue in Milwaukee. Zarion was transported to a hospital where he died from his injuries. The occupants of the van fled the scene. The 31-year-old driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was subsequently arrested and charged with driving with a suspended license, causing death.

Notable Details
Several notable details not addressed by previous questions: (1) The car containing the child was stolen by a "family friend" per Document 1, meaning the child's presence in the vehicle was due to a theft, not a voluntary arrangement. (2) Document 2 reports that "everybody in the van jumped out and ran away" after the crash, and "Police are still searching for the occupants of the van," indicating the other vehicle's occupants fled the scene. (3) The driver's license was already suspended at the time of the crash, per Document 2, which led to the charge of "driving with a suspended license, causing death."
