A 17-month-old east Alabama toddler was killed when she was run over by a vehicle driven by her father, police said.

Haislee Faith Williams died Saturday, Nov. 6, at a local hospital, Etowah County Deputy Coroner Dantez Robinson said.

According to the police, officers responded to the Gadsden Regional Medical at about 11:15 a.m. on Saturday, after receiving reports of a child struck by a vehicle.

Haislee was reportedly killed by the vehicle driven by her father, Joshua Williams.

“One of our very BEST babies who was a true angel here on Earth is now an angel in Heaven. Haislee Williams passed from a tragic accident situation yesterday. We were honored to be allowed to care for, to teach, most importantly to love her and be trusted by her parents. We will forever remember her and the smile that would light up a room and treasure all the moments we had while she was in our care. We ask that you please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers often. I know that there was never a day that this precious baby did not feel true love from those around her. I pray in all of the time that is to come for her family, that they find comfort in all the good and sweet memories of their beautiful daughter. May she Rest In Peace and in the arms of Jesus,” Noccalula Academy posted this about Haislee on Facebook

The police said the investigation is ongoing.

In a similar but unrelated incident, a 19-month-old boy from Horton, Alabama reportedly tragically died on Sept. 11, after his mother's boyfriend accidentally ran over him with a truck.

Ivan Alexander Aguilar Jr. has been reported dead after he wandered out of his Nixon Chapel Road home and was accidentally run over by his mother Lexie Ramirez's boyfriend's truck,

The mother’s boyfriend reportedly moved his truck without knowing that the toddler was underneath. Later, after realizing that the young boy was missing, the couple searched for him on the property and found the child sprawled under the vehicle.

No charges have been filed after the toddler's death.
