MANDAN, N.D. — A young child died Monday in Mandan after falling off a Fourth of July parade trailer, police said in a news release.

An hour before the parade’s start, the 6-year-old girl fell off the trailer, which ran her over on Longspur Trail Southeast, the release said.
Mabel was taken to a hospital, where she later died.
It is unclear which parade entry was involved in the incident, but the girl was part of the group riding the trailer. Police are still investigating the death.
