PERRY, Utah – A 3-year-old girl has died after police say she was backed over in a movie theater parking lot near 1776 S. Hwy 89 in Perry.

The girl had just finished watching a movie with her grandparents and cousins when police say she got separated from them and got outside before anyone noticed.

A man was backing out of the parking lot when the girl got behind his car.

“By the time anybody realized, he had backed over her,” Sgt. Dave Freeze with Perry City Police Department said.

Freeze said she was later pronounced dead at Brigham City Hospital.

Police say they have no plans to release a name, especially as they are still notifying family.
