Driver Charged in Texas Crash that Killed 5 Kids

Associated Press: Police filed intoxication manslaughter charges Sunday against a driver who lost control of his car while using a cell phone, plunging the vehicle into a rain-filled ditch and killing five children inside.
Jenkins failed a field sobriety test following Saturday's crash, which occurred after heavy rain turned the ditch into a torrent. The results of a blood alcohol test were pending, Smith said.
It was unclear if Jenkins had an attorney.
The search was continuing for the missing victim, a 3-year-old girl. A dive team searched a bayou for the child Sunday afternoon, Smith said.
The bodies of three boys -- ages 4, 7 and 11 -- were found inside the vehicle. A body believed to be that of a 1-year-old girl swept away from the car was found Sunday.
