Ubut a year and a half old girl died on Wednesday, September 2, after being accidentally run over by her father in a campsite in Grossenquin, Moselle, France.
According to the various French media, everything happened when the child's father, of German nationality, was maneuvering with the car and ran over his daughter.
The family, of German nationality and living in Stuttgart, Germany, had just arrived at the campsite to spend a few days on vacation.
The 45-year-old man “did a maneuver with a vehicle – an SUV”, said the prosecutor of Sarreguemines, Olivier Glady.
“ The child had initially been kept away from the car, along with the twin brothers of 4 years and another of 7 ", he said.
However, the children ended up “inexpectedly” approaching and the collision happened accidentally.
On the scene are the emergency services that tried to revive the one-year-old girl. However, the death was eventually declared. A psychological support unit was also launched.
Tox screens were also carried out on the father of the baby who tested negative, the prosecutor said. Authorities have advanced that there is an ongoing investigation to investigate the “exact circumstances” of the accident.
