ODESSA -- A 1 year-old child was badly injured after being run over by a car in Odessa Thursday morning.
The incident happened on the 2600 block of North Grandview just before 11:00 AM Thursday. A Nissan Murano was making a right turn out of a parking lot and onto Grandview when the back door behind the driver's seat swung open. Yanna Nevi Sanchez, 1, was hanging onto that open door, and she fell onto the road. Then the Murano ran over her.
Sanchez was taken to Medical Center Hospital with critical injuries, and the child is expected to be airlifted to Lubbock. The driver of the Nissan Murano - 26 year-old Starr Madrid - got a citation for not restraining Sanchez in the back seat.
