A 1-year-old child died after being found unresponsive in a hot car in Georgia. It's the ninth child death of its kind this year in the U.S., a nonprofit says.
The Madison County Sheriff's Office told Fox5 Atlanta the latest incident happened Thursday afternoon in the parking lot of a Walgreens pharmacy in Danielsville, outside Athens.
Police told the station they were called to the Walgreens, where the child’s mother works, around 1:30 p.m.
Temperatures at that time were just above 90 degrees, according to Fox5 Atlanta.

The death is the ninth involving a child left in a hot car this year, according to Kids and Car Safety, which describes itself as a "national nonprofit … dedicated to saving the lives of children and pets in and around motor vehicles."
Earlier this week, a 3-year-old in Columbus, Georgia, and an 18-month-old in Chesterfield County, Virginia, died in similar incidents, the nonprofit reported.
