A 35-YEAR-OLD woman has been charged with dangerous driving occasioning death after she allegedly crashed into a house in Perth's northern suburbs and killed a baby sleeping in his room.
The driver lost control of her utility at 2.30am (WST) on Friday, in Merriwa, and mounted a median strip before crashing through a wooden fence and ploughing into the rear of the home.
The family of eight-month-old victim Nate Troy Dunbar told the media on Friday they were still trying to come to terms with their loss.
Grandfather Stephen Clarke said Nate was an amazing little boy.
"I just don't have the words to express how I feel at the moment ... so sad," he said.
Mr Clarke also thanked police and ambulance officers for their help, and the media for their sympathy.
The woman was taken to Joondalup Health Campus as a precaution.
She has since been charged with dangerous driving occasioning death and is due to appear in Joondalup Magistrates Court on February 11.

Police say they will be investigating if alcohol was a factor in the crash.
