WEST BATON ROUGE — A toddler was killed in a deadly accident involving a side-by-side UTV, according to officials.
The West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office said it was around 1:30 a.m. June 3 when deputies responded to a wreck involving a UTV/side-by-side. The crash happened in a field adjacent to the State Capitol Raceway off Hwy. 190 near Rougon Rd.
A three-year-old girl was injured and transported to the hospital, but she did not survive.
