 BY IAN CROUCH

An investigation is continuing into the tragic death of a toddler at a Rathmines home.

Emergency services and the Hunter's Westpac Rescue helicopter were called to Rosemary Row just before 2.30pm on Monday to reports a toddler had been hit by a vehicle in a driveway.

Despite the best efforts of paramedics, the little girl died at the scene.

A 38-year-old man was taken to the John Hunter Hospital for mandatory testing.

Police are investigating whether the little girl silently followed her father out of the home before being stuck by the family car as he was exiting the driveway.
