EPHRATA, Wash. —

The Grant County sheriff's office says a driver was reaching for her cell phone when she lost control of her car on a road near Royal City.

The car left the road and rolled down an embankment Monday, killing her 6-year-old daughter.

The sheriff's office says the girl was not properly restrained in a child seat. She was partially ejected and died at the scene.

The mother, 25-year-old Alma Rosa Avila-Juarez, and two sons, 2 and 3, were taken to Samaritan Hospital in Moses Lake. They are expected to recover from their injuries.

The father works for a nearby farmer and went to the accident scene.
