She was rushed to Children's Hospital Boston, where she's being treated for what police call "life-altering head trauma."
"The little girl suffered a fractured neck and I think, initially, there was some bleeding to the brain," Officer Eddy Chrispin told WBZ-TV Sunday.
Investigators say the Cherokee has front end damage and possibly one or two broken headlights.
