Police are investigating after they say a baby was placed in the road by a driver, and then run over and killed.
According to police, there were two people in the car - a man (driver) and a woman (passenger). They apparently got into an argument in the car, and that’s when the driver stopped at the intersection.
JSO says the man put the baby on the ground, then drove off, hitting the 8-month-old in the process.
The baby was taken to a hospital by the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, where it was pronounced dead.
Right now, it’s unclear if the people in the car were the baby’s parents.
