A 1-year-old girl was killed when she was run over by a car in a Tenino area driveway this morning.
“A tragic accident, no charges, just a tragic accident,” Thurston County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Cliff Zeisemer said today.
Deputies and firefighters were called about 8:15 a.m. to the baby’s family home on the 16,000 block of Melville Street.
Ziesemer said a 21-year-old woman arrived to the residence to pick up a child for daycare, as the families carpooled.
“Mom came out with the child and also the 1-year-old,” Ziesemer said. “Unbeknownst to everyone, the child had walked in front of the van.”
He said the newer van pulled away very slowly in the circular driveway; the mother had turned to head back into the house.
An arriving deputy started CPR and members of Thurston County Fire District 12 continued, but the baby was pronounced dead at the scene, according to responders.
The parents were both home, the mother had thought the child was back in the house, he said.

Once again Republican Logger demonstrates his uselessness in contributing to matters of intelligent discourse. Seriously, judging from his posts he must really lead a satisfying life. the guy comes off as lacking any empathy. It’s pure psychopathology here baby.
DineBau, all too often people think with emotion & not with facts. It appears that you are one. Fact is that this was preventable.
You need to return to your Dr.Phil & Oprah reruns.
Republican Logger you are a heartless ass. Accidents happen even to ‘good’ parents. If you’re a parent I’m sure you never just got lucky because you turned away from your child for a minute. If you’re not a parent, well, thank goodness because no child should have to live such a despicable, judgmental ass such as you. Prayers and love to the families involved is what is needed, not nonsensical judgments.
Accident or not it seems as if people just weren’t paying attention. Parents & driver.
Poor lil girl. R.I.P.
I can’t even imagine now that poor mother is handling life right now! They would have me strapped into a straight jacket and chained to the floor, stark raving mad out of my mind if it had been my baby……… my heart goes out to her! Prayers for all involved. Connie
Oh my God ! My heart is just breaking for the family and all parties involved. Just awful and tragic. Poor sweet baby 🙁
