ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — A 7-year-old boy died Sunday evening after falling from a car window and being struck by a vehicle in a hit-and-run incident on Interstate 97, Maryland State Police said.

The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. in the northbound lanes of I-97, just north of MD Route 32. According to investigators, the boy was riding in the rear passenger seat of a 2011 Mazda 3 driven by his grandmother when he opened the window and fell out of the vehicle, landing on the roadway.
