IRVING, Texas — An investigation is underway after an infant fell out of a moving vehicle and was then hit by another car in Irving Sunday, police said.

Irving police said the incident happened around 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of North MacArthur Boulevard and Ranchview Drive.

According to police, an 8-month-old child fell out of a vehicle and was struck by a black sedan. The sedan did not stop, but police said there's a "high probability" that the driver did not know the infant was hit.
