Toddler dies after mother accidentally runs car over her in Arizona
In a tragic incident, a 13-month-old girl died after her mother accidentally ran over her with a moving car near the family’s home in the US state of Arizona last week.
On July 6, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office got a call from a woman asserting that “she had run over her 13-month-old baby with her car.” According to the Daily Mail, the girl has been identified as Cyra Rose Thoeming who was with her mother outside the family’s Cottonwood home when the incident took place.
The vehicle was parked in a gravel area next to the residence and the mother was trying to manoeuvre it out of a tight space. She had placed her child in a car seat “in an area she felt safe”.
Yavapai County Sheriff mentioned in a statement that while repositioning the car, the front tire caught the canopy of the car seat, causing it to fall backward which led to the infant suffering critical injuries. They added that the infant could not be saved despite efforts by the medical personnel. The toddler was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
No further information has been revealed and it is not known whether the mother will be charged in connection with her child’s death. The YCSO Criminal Investigations Bureau is investigating the tragedy.
Cyra’s uncle has set up a GoFundMe to ease the financial burdens of her parents. He described the little girl as “a light in the world who brought smiles to everyone she met”. He also shared that she loved being outside, playing with her family, animals and the water. “There isn't anyone who didn't smile their biggest after spending just a moment with her,” he wrote.

New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has apprehended 966 people and seized arms, drugs, illegal liquor and vehicles during a large-scale preventive crackdown in southeast Delhi ahead of New Year celebrations, an official said on Saturday.
The operation, namely Operation Aaghat 3.0, was launched to curb organised crime, street offences and the activities of habitual criminals in view of heightened public movement during year-end festivities, they said.
Of the total, 331 accused were arrested under the Delhi Excise Act, NDPS Act and the Public Gambling Act, while 504 people were apprehended under various preventive provisions, the police said.
As part of targeted action, police apprehended 116 listed bad characters, arrested five auto-lifters and four proclaimed offenders, officials added.
During the operation, police recovered 21 country-made pistols, 20 live cartridges and 27 knives under the Arms Act. They also seized 12,258 quarters of illicit liquor, 6.01 kg of ganja and Rs 2.36 lakh from gamblers.
A total of 310 mobile phones, six two-wheelers and one four-wheeler were also recovered, the police said.
In addition, action was taken against 1,306 persons under the Delhi Police Act, while 231 two-wheelers were seized for violations, the officials said.
The crackdown was carried out with over 600 police personnel deployed across the district.
The police said the operation was aimed at preventing any untoward incident during New Year celebrations, particularly in residential areas and jhuggi clusters, and to deter organised crime networks and habitual offenders.
Officials said stringent legal provisions, including sections 111 and 112 of the BNS, would be invoked in suitable cases, and proposals for externment of repeat offenders were also being initiated.
The police added that intensified patrolling, vehicle checking and night surveillance had led to a reduction in PCR calls related to street crime in the district over the past month.
