NLV Police: Toddler fatally struck in a driveway

North Las Vegas Police are investigating after a toddler was fatally struck in a driveway late Friday, according to a department spokesman.

Officers were dispatched about 8 p.m. to the 3500 block of Ashby Field Avenue, near Allen Lane and Centennial Parkway, in reference to a child who was run over in a residential driveway, public information officer Alexander Cuevas said.

The child — only identified as a 2-year-old boy — was transported to University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, Cuevas said.

Further details were not available, and the police investigation is still in its preliminary stages, Cuevas said. The incident, however, is currently being looked at as an accident, he said.
