GRASS VALLEY, Calif. — A 16-month-old child was hit and killed by a car as it was pulling out of a Nevada County driveway Friday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.

CHP says the crash happened around 7:10 a.m. in the area of Gilham Court near Wolf Mountain Road. CHP says a 66-year-old Loomis woman was leaving her family home when three of her grandchildren "ran to vehicle to say their farewell greetings for the day." 

The 16-month-old, Ross Grenon, walked in front of the car without his grandmother seeing and was hit, CHP says.

Grenon was airlifted to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
