Keila Ruby Flores, 33, was taken to Scott & White Medical Center where she died the next morning. An autopsy was ordered.

Flores' boyfriend, Christopher Rodriguez, was driving the car while his three children, the youngest, barely six years old, were sitting at the back. They were not injured.

"(We were) returned to Waco by Highway 35 North, all of a sudden, something just hit the window," Rodriguez told CBS affiliate, KWTX-TV.

"An explosion just went through the window, I did not know what it was," he said. "I look over and I see Keila and she lies there, insensitive, I shake her, trying to wake her up, (but) she does not react."
