Toddlers in driveway run over by pickup truck pulling in, Oklahoma cops say. One died
Two toddlers were in an Oklahoma home’s driveway when a 63-year-old man driving a pickup truck pulled in, authorities said.
Both girls — ages 1 and 2 — were run over by the truck at about 5 p.m. Monday, April 24, according to a report from Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
State troopers and other first responders responded to the home, about 2 miles south of Cleora in Delaware County, authorities said. The girls, both from Afton, were rushed to a hospital with injuries.
The 1-year-old child was pronounced dead with head injuries, authorities said. The 2-year-old girl is in critical condition with internal injuries.
An investigation into the collision is ongoing. Authorities have not said if the driver, a man from Afton, had any relation to the children.
Afton is about 10 miles north of Cleora in the northeast corner of Oklahoma.
