A south Alabama mother who allegedly fled police and crashed into a light pole with her children in the car, was stunned when told one of the kids died, a police officer said during a court hearing this week.

Court documents state that Delyshia Molette, 34, was charged with reckless manslaughter after allegedly eluding Semmes police at a high rate of speed and crashing her car into a light pole on Monday.

Her two sons, 7 and 11, were both in the car at the time of the crash.

During a bond hearing Tuesday, a Mobile police officer stated that Molette’s youngest child died as a result of the crash while the 11-year-old has critical brain bleeding, according to WKRG.

The tv station reported that Molette then shouted, “Did you say he died? My 7-year-old died?”
