Police said an 18-year-old woman, who did not have a license, was backing a man's car into a parking space when she lost control, jumped the curb and struck the toddler, who was sitting in a stroller in the front yard.

The toddler was dragged in the stroller for several yards before the car came to a stop.

Medics rushed Jackson to the hospital.

Investigators said the woman is cooperating with police.  She was not arrested and has not been charged with any crime; however, the accident remains under investigation.  Police are also interviewing the man who allowed the teen to move his car.
