2-year-old dies after being hit by relative’s car in Six Flags parking lot

An outing to an amusement park ended in tragedy Saturday when a 2-year-old boy died after being struck by a relative’s car, Cobb County police said Monday.

The child, whose name was not released, was hit in the parking lot of Six Flags Over Georgia shortly after 4 p.m., according to Officer Shenise Barner. He died after being taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite.

According to investigators, a 51-year-old Senoia woman had driven four relatives — ages 10, 6, 3 and 2 — to Six Flags earlier Saturday. When the group returned to the woman’s 2019 Chrysler Pacifica, she believed all four children were inside the SUV, police said.
