A 7-year-old Leonia girl was hospitalized with serious injuries after she was run over by an SUV driven by a relative in what authorities said was a tragic accident.
It was dark and raining steadily when the driver dropped off four passengers in a parking lot near the corner of Grand Avenue and Fort Lee Road shortly before 8:30 p.m. Monday, according to a borough police report.
The girl inadvertently moved into the path of the Ford Explorer as it exited the lot and was run over by a front tire, it says.
She was rushed to Hackensack University Medical Center with chest injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening.
