Audra Carter, 31, is charged with neglect and driving with a controlled substance in her system.
Carter told police that she had stopped at the Gaston truck stop to buy a doughnut for her daughter. While she was inside the store, she collapsed from a heroin overdose while her daughter looked on.

The girl was unharmed and released to her father.
