Toddler Run Over By Father's Car Dies

A toddler was fatally injured when she was run over by her father's car in the driveway of the family home in Seattle late yesterday.

The girl, Ellie Rolfe, 15-months, was treated at the scene, in the 3400 block of East Ward Street, by Seattle Fire Department medics shortly after 7:30 p.m. She died later in Harborview Medical Center of severe head injuries.

The father, Stuart Rolfe, told police he was moving several cars around in the driveway behind the home when the girl apparently fell into the path of a large station wagon, said police spokesman Mark Amundson. There were no other witnesses to the incident.
