IONIA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a 1-year-old girl is dead after falling out of a truck while her parents were driving in Ionia County.

The Sentinel Standard of Ionia reports the child was riding on her father's lap Monday evening in Ionia Township when she somehow opened the door of the 2006 Ford F-150 and fell out. She was run over. Her mother was behind the wheel.

The child was not restrained in the vehicle.
