When Splendora Fire Department arrived on the scene the child had already been removed from under the vehicle.
MCHD requested PHI Air Medical to the scene due to the nature of the injury.
According to the Sheriff’s Office the 8-year-old girl was about to leave with her 17-year-old sister and her 18-year-old sister in a Highlander SUV.
