The incident happened around noon on Christmas Day on Highway 53.
Police say that a 28-year-old County of Brant area man was moving his car in a driveway when the child somehow got wedged underneath a wheel.
A police spokesperson confirmed to 980 CFPL last week that the girl and the driver are related, though he did not specify the relation.
