Police have identified the woman who was caught on video crashing her car in a high-speed chase and attempting to carjack someone — all with a baby in tow.
Caitlyn Rodriguez has been locked up on child endangerment, possession of a controlled substance and evading arrest charges since her June 15 arrest in San Antonio, local network KSAT reported.
A Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter caught the 29-year-old zooming 100 mph down Route 90 — with the kid strapped in the back seat of her Mercedes SUV — after cops tried to pull her over on outstanding warrants.

With the car seat on her arm, Rodriguez dashed across several lanes of the busy highway and hopped into a Nissan Xterra that she tried carjacking.
Cops were able to thwart her escape by blocking the SUV and yanking her out of the vehicle.
