SHARJAH // A toddler has died after being accidentally reversed over by her brother’s car.
The accident took place at the family home, in Al Dhaid, on Friday afternoon.
The three-year-old Emirati girl, M M A, was taken to Al Dhaid Hospital but died that evening after suffering severe head injuries and internal bleeding.
A similar incident occurred in Ras Al Khaimah less than a week ago, on January 6, when a three-year-old Emirati girl was run over and killed by her uncle as she played outside the family home.
There were 239 run over accidents in Sharjah last year, resulting in 33 deaths, said Sharjah Police.
