Authorities said a former NFL player was moving a truck that ran over and killed his 3-year-daughter in the driveway of their suburban Phoenix home.
The Arizona Republic reported police said Todd Heap was behind the wheel of the truck when he accidentally struck the girl while moving the vehicle forward outside their home in Mesa Friday afternoon.
Officials said the girl was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Mesa police said impairment was not a factor.
Heap played in the NFL for the Baltimore Ravens for 10 years and the Arizona Cardinals for two years. He played at Arizona State University, where he was a two-time All-Pac-10 selection.
