ORLANDO, Fla. -- A 10-month-old Orlando girl was listed in serious condition Thursday night after her mother backed over the baby who was sitting in a car seat, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The child was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital after the incident, which occurred at about 6 p.m. in the 300 block of Buchanon Avenue in Orange County.
According to the FHP, a Mercury Sable was parked -- but left running -- in a driveway, and the 10-month-old, who was in a car seat, was behind the car.
The 30-year-old mother got into the car and while she was turning it off, the vehicle backed over the girl and crashed into a house, troopers said.
The crash remains under investigation.
