The Michigan State Police are investigating how a 2-year-old girl was fatally struck by a vehicle after her parents put her to bed last week. 

Troopers responded on Sept. 13 to a “Car vs Pedestrian Traffic Crash” at 8:20 p.m. in Allen Township, 115 miles west of Detroit, police said. 

“Upon arrival on scene troopers found a 2-year-old female toddler lying in the road,” a police statement read. 

The unidentified toddler was taken to Hillsdale Hospital, where she later died, authorities said. The girl’s parents put her to bed inside their home before she got out, police said.
