An Alexander County toddler died Wednesday after his grandfather accidentally ran over the child with his truck, authorities said.
The 2-year-old boy was staying at his grandparents' home about four miles northwest of Taylorsville Wednesday afternoon, said Alexander County Sheriff Hayden Bentley.
The child ran behind the truck as his grandfather was backing up and was hit, Bentley said. The boy died in the ambulance before he arrived at Frye Regional Hospital, he said.
Bentley would not release the names of the child or his grandfather because family was still being notified. He said no charges will be filed because it was "an obvious accident."
