The baby suffered abrasions to their face while the man had shoulder pain, authorities said. The two were transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The driver, a 23-year-old man, told police that the sun was in his eyes while turning, and he did not see the man pushing the baby in the stroller. A field sobriety test determined that the driver was not under the influence at the time, according to Hercules PD.
