LEE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A child is dead after being accidentally run over by a vehicle Saturday evening.
The 1-year-old, now identified as Brentyn Allen Combs-Easterday, was hit by a pick-up truck just before 8 p.m. on 106th Ave. between 48th and 49th streets.
An Allegan County deputy said the child was hit in the driveway of a home belonging to the boy's grandparents who were babysitting.
The child got away from the grandmother for a moment and was hit by the grandfather who was moving the truck and didn't know the child was nearby, according to police.
Deputies called the situation a "tragic accident," saying no foul play is suspected.
A GoFundMe page has been created to help pay for the family's funeral costs. To help them reach their goal of $9,000, visit the page here.
