Police in Michigan are investigating a tragic incident in Allen Township where a 2-year-old girl was hit and killed by a car after apparently leaving her home while her parents were working around the house. The child was found in the road after the crash and succumbed to her injuries at a nearby hospital. The driver, a 38-year-old man, was operating a VW Jetta and authorities do not believe that alcohol or drugs played a role in the incident. The driver’s name has not been released and it is unclear if charges will be filed. An autopsy will be conducted on the child and the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact the Michigan State Police Jackson Post. This tragic accident serves as a reminder of the importance of child safety and supervision, as well as the need for caution when driving in residential areas.
