A toddler should survive after Canton police say her mom apparently backed over the child with a car in their driveway over the weekend.

NewsChannel 5 reports that it happened at about 3 PM Sunday at the house on 19th Street Northeast.

The one-and-a-half year old was taken to Canton's Mercy Medical Center and later transported to Akron Children's Hospital, where surgery was set for Monday.

Canton police say the toddler was in stable condition and is expected to survive.

They haven't figured out how the child got behind the vehicle. No charges were filed as of Monday afternoon.
