YPSILANTI, MI - A 2-year-old girl was taken to the hospital after police say she was left in a parked vehicle overnight in Ypsilanti with temperatures below zero.

Authorities are investigating the incident that began on New Year's Eve and left the girl inside the shut-off vehicle for an estimated 13 hours.

Police were called about 4:15 p.m. Jan. 1 to an Ypsilanti-area hospital for a child neglect complaint, Ypsilanti police Lt. Deric Gress said.

Police believe the child's aunt, a 23-year-old woman, took the girl to a relative's house in the 1000 block of Jefferson Street. There, the adults got in an argument, Gress said. Afterward, each thought the other had the child with them.

Instead, the girl was in a car seat in her aunt's vehicle.

Police believe she was sitting there from about 9 p.m. Dec. 31 to about 10 a.m. on Jan. 1.

National Weather Service records show the temperature in nearby Detroit was 2 degrees Fahrenheit at 11:32 p.m. Dec. 31 and 2 degrees below zero at 12:31 a.m. Jan. 1.

The girl was dressed in winter clothing and was taken to the hospital after being discovered on New Year's Day, Gress said. Police don't believe she suffered any permanent injuries.

The case was forwarded to Child Protective Services and Washtenaw County prosecutors for review, Gress said.
