It all started when the girl's father parked in front of their unit to unload groceries. At some point, police said the father noticed his 1-year-old was on the ground in a pool of blood. That's when he called 911, and firefighters took the girl to a nearby hospital. She is OK and is expected to recover from her injuries, according to authorities.
Meanwhile, police are trying to find out who did this. The Houston Police Department has not filed any charges in the case and isn't exactly sure how this happened. "It is unknown at this time if what vehicle was responsible or not responsible or if it was just an accident or a hit-and-run, but at this time all parties are being treated as witnesses," Lt. J.P. Horelica said.The 1-year-old is the second child under five years old to have been hit in the span of about 12 hours.Investigators said the child was playing outside when a silver Toyota SUV hit her and took off.
