Mom charged with murder after killing 7-year-old son in car crash

A Houston mom was charged with murder Friday after allegedly driving while intoxicated and killing her young son last month, according to court records.

Edith Abrego, 29, apparently lost control of her car on July 7 with her three children inside, flipping it on its passenger side in the 400 block of Maxey.

The 7-year-old boy, Jody Rodriguez, was ejected from the vehicle and died on site. His siblings, ages 4 and 6, were taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital Hospital with their mother for non-life threatening injuries.

Houston police said Abrego was driving a Nissan Rogue and swerved out of her lane.

Abrego's bond is set for $200,000.
