ANCHORAGE – One-year-old Vanessa Thao was hit and killed by her mother's Toyota minivan off of Muldoon Road around 3:15 P.M. Monday afternoon, according to Anchorage police.
Officials performed life-saving procedures at the scene before taking Thao to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Lieutenant Dave Parker said the "tragic accident" occurred because the mother thought her daughter was still in the house when she was leaving the family's home.
