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.
