A 7-year-old boy died Thursday after a tragic accident at the start of Annapolis' Fourth of July parade.
Just after 7 p.m., the boy fell from a vehicle getting ready to participate in the parade. The vehicle was on Amos Garrett Boulevard, where vehicles were lining up to enter the parade route.
The boy was transported to Anne Arundel Medical Center, where he died from his injuries.
An investigation is continuing. Police did not release the identity of the boy.
A similar incident happened in Oklahoma, where a father accidentally ran over and killed his 8-year-old son, who either jumped or fell from parade float Thursday morning. Police called it a "horrific, unfortunate accident."
