Conway police say a mother ran over her daughter early Saturday morning after the 12 year-old and her friends fell asleep on the driveway.
Police were called to a home at 1060 Crosspoint around five Saturday. The girl, who has not yet been identified, had to be airlifted to a Little Rock hospital. She suffered road rash and scratches, but no broken bones or other serious injuries. She's since returned home to her parents.
Officers say the girls were having a sleepover at the home, but had gathered up their blankets to lay in the driveway and watch the sunrise. They apparently fell asleep behind a car. The mother of the victim did not see them, officers say, and she backed over her daughter.
The mother passed a drug test and has been cleared of any wrong-doing.
