Toddler accidentally struck by vehicle, dies

A 2-year-old girl is dead after being hit by a vehicle in the Linden area Sunday evening. Mya Canfield was playing with stones in the driveway when a close family friend pulled in. The family friend, Kentin Deon Marcum, didn’t see Mya despite those nearby screaming at him to stop, reports The Dispatch. He struck her with his Pontiac G6.

She was rushed to Nationwide Children’s Hospital but did not survive.

Mya’s mother Patty Venuto says she knows what happened was an accident but it does not ease her pain.
