Parent hits, kills 2-year-old while moving RV at Dockweiler State Beach, police say

A toddler died on Saturday after her mother struck her while moving an RV at a Dockweiler State Beach campground, authorities have confirmed.

The collision was reported at 5:47 p.m. in an RV park adjacent to the 12200 block of Vista Del Mar.


The Los Angeles Police Department said it appeared that a woman was moving the vehicle when she heard a noise and realized that she’d struck the child.

The child, described only as a 2-year-old Hispanic girl, died shortly after.

No additional details were immediately made available. The investigation remained ongoing as of Sunday morning.
