A 2-year-old Utah girl died Friday after being struck by a truck in the parking lot of a Layton car wash.
According to Layton police, the incident happened just after 10 a.m. Friday at the Shiny Shell car wash near 1493 East Church Street. Officials said two vehicles, a mini-van and a truck, were parked at the vacuums for the car wash just prior to the incident.
The 2-year-old girl was playing behind her mother’s minivan with another child when the truck, driven by an 18-year-old man, started to move and struck the little girl. The girl’s mother, according to police, ran the girl to a nearby urgent care center.
By the time the girl was at the center, Layton firefighters had arrived and called for a life-flight for the victim. The girl was airlifted in critical condition to Primary Children’s Hospital, where she later died of her injuries.
