The Clovis Police Department has identified 62-year-old Steve Myer as the driver involved in the incident that occurred on Saturday at a Trader Joe’s parking lot in Clovis, located in California’s Central Valley. Authorities were notified and responded at 2:23 p.m. following a report of a toddler being struck by a vehicle.

KFSN further reported that Myer stayed at the scene and engaged with law enforcement. After conducting a field sobriety test, police suspected he was intoxicated while driving, leading to his arrest without any complications.
