OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say a 2-year-old girl has been fatally injured in a tractor accident in Clackamas County.

Deputy Nathan Thompson says an emergency call about the accident near Boring came in about 6 p.m. Saturday.

The injured toddler was flown to Emanuel Hospital, but officials reported later that she died.

Thompson said late Saturday that he still didn’t have any details on how the accident occurred, including if it happened on a farm. He said investigators were still at the scene.

The Clackamas County Interagency Crime Reconstruction and Forensics Team is investigating.
