Caleb has been released from Primary Children's Medical Center, although he and his father are still at University Hospital for Clarissa. Caleb has a fractured pelvis, fractured rib and is in a lot of pain, "but yet he's always with a smile," Kofford said.

Murray Police detective Kenny Bass said no additional information was available Monday on the 24-year-old man being held in connection with the 2:24 a.m. crash. Police still were not certain where Carlos Rodolfo Prieto is from or whether he has had any prior history of drunken driving.

Prieto remained in the Salt Lake County Jail on Monday. Police said he is expected to be charged with three felony counts of vehicular homicide and three misdemeanors — driving under the influence, driving without a license and running a red light.
