At about 4:40 p.m., officers were dispatched to a private driveway in the 10700 block of 7th Ave SE on the report of a collision involving a car and child. Arriving officers found a 2 year-old girl who had been run over by a full-sized Toyota Sequoia. The driver, a neighbor in his mid-30’s, remained at the scene.
The girl was immediately taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett in critical condition. It is not currently known what injuries she sustained.
