A Sarasota toddler has died after officials said she was run over by a car driven by her mother in Nokomis on Thursday afternoon.
According to reports, the 20-month-old girl was run over around 5 p.m. in the 1000 block of Tarpon Court.
Deputies say the couple at the home had just finished making a repair to their Honda Passport SUV and the mother got into the vehicle to pull it forward.
She had last seen her 20-month-old daughter playing with bubbles on the porch, but the child had apparently wandered into the driveway and was run over by the vehicle.
Deputies arrived on scene along with the North Port Fire Department and attempted to revive the child.
The Sarasota County Fire Department transported the toddler to Venice Regional Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.
