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.

PM Modi speaks to Iranian president, discusses 'serious' situation in West Asia
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday night spoke to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian over the phone and discussed the "serious situation" in West Asia.
Modi expressed deep concern over the escalation of tensions in the region and the loss of civilian lives as well as damage to civilian infrastructure.
The prime minister told the Iranian President that the safety and security of Indian nationals, along with the need for unhindered transit of goods and energy, remain India's top priorities.
“Had a conversation with Iranian President, Dr Masoud Pezeshkian, to discuss the serious situation in the region. Expressed deep concern over the escalation of tensions and the loss of civilian lives as well as damage to civilian infrastructure,” Modi said in a post on X.
The prime minister also reiterated India's commitment to peace and stability and urged dialogue and diplomacy to end the crisis.
The prime minister had spoken to leaders of several West Asian countries in the last 10 days in the wake of the coordinated offensive launched against Iran by the United States and Israel, in which the Islamic country's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed last month.
In retaliation, Iran has fired drones and missiles at Israel and US military installations around the Gulf region, including the global business and aviation hubs of Dubai and Doha.
Modi earlier spoke to the leaders of Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Israel and Qatar, and expressed concern over the attacks on their countries, and condemned the violation of some nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He also discussed the welfare and security of the Indian community residing in those countries.
Around 1 crore Indians live in the Gulf and West Asia. While about 10,000 Indian citizens live, study and work in Iran, more than 40,000 live in Israel.
