Man Accidently Runs Over His Daughter

HOUSTON (AP) - A 3-year-old Houston-area girl has died after being hit as her father backed up his truck in the family's driveway.

Officials say the girl apparently got out of the house and was wandering outside when the incident happened.

The father and a neighbor rushed the girl to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
