ALLEN COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating a fatal accident involving a 2-year-old girl who had been backed over by a truck on a farm two and one half miles northwest of Elsmore, Kansas, according to the Allen County Sheriff's office.
Just before 6p.m. Monday, the Allen County Communications Center received a 911 call from a 2-year-old child's mother who reported she and her husband were driving the child to a local hospital. Working with a calm 911 dispatcher, the child's breathing and other medical conditions were assessed. The child was transferred, roadside to an Allen County ambulance three miles east of Humbolt and transported the Allen County Regional Hospital. The child was later air-lifted to Children's Mercy where she died of her injuries, according to the sheriff's office.
There is not foul play suspected at this time, according to the sheriff's office. It appears to have been a tragic far-related accident.
