A 4 month-old boy has died after he and his mother were run over by a van in southwestern Minnesota. The Renville County Sheriff's office says the tragedy occurred Sunday morning at the Beaver Falls Campground near Morton. A woman driving a van was trying to back into a parking area near the family's tent. The van backed over the tent where the infant was resting with his father and mother. The baby died; his mother is listed in stable condition today. The driver of the van, identified as 31 year-old Nicolle Prechel, was arrested.
