Authorities say a 2-year-old Mennonite girl died in a buggy accident when the horse bolted at her family's home near Alta Vista in northeast Iowa.
Howard County Sheriff Mike Miner says Thursday that Kaylene Nolt died after she was thrown from the buggy.
The accident happened Tuesday afternoon.
Miner says the girl and her father, Joseph Miner, had returned from a produce auction and he was unhitching the buggy when the horse was spooked. The horse took off and the buggy slid into a tractor with steel wheels.
The child was thrown and pinned between the buggy and a steel wheel.
Miner says the father suffered a leg injury, but didn't require medical attention.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier first reported the child's death.
