Two children were killed over the past few days in separate accidents, authorities said.
A child died Monday evening after being run over by a vehicle on private land in Weld County, Colorado State Patrol officials said.
The State Patrol said the incident happened just after 6 p.m. in the area of Weld County roads 23 and 80. But police could not provide any additional information, such as the child’s age, gender or how the incident happened.
A day earlier, an 11-month-old child died after a rock, no larger than a football, crashed through the window of a moving vehicle he was in and struck him in the head.
The incident happened Sunday afternoon 20 miles south of Carbondale. Logan C.W. Cervantes was rushed to Valley View Hospital, where a short time later he was declared dead as a result of his head injury, Pitkin County Sheriff’s officials said in a news release.
Authorities were notified about 4:40 p.m. that a rock about 7 inches long and 4 inches wide crashed through the window of a moving car on Colorado 133 and struck the child.
A passing motorist helped transport Logan to the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District’s Redstone station, where rescue workers provided first aid.
No one else was injured in the incident, authorities said.
