AUSTERLITZ, N.Y. (AP) —Police say a toddler has been pinned under an all-terrain vehicle and killed after her 8-year-old brother crashed it in eastern New York.
The Columbia County sheriff's office says the children and their 10-year-old sister took a ride in the ATV Saturday evening while their family was housesitting in Austerlitz, about 40 miles southeast of Albany. The boy was driving.
Sheriff's deputies say the 3-year-old girl was thrown to the ground when the ATV hit a tree. She was trapped underneath as the vehicle rolled.
The boy was treated for facial injuries. The 10-year-old wasn't hurt.
