According to the police report, the mom, an 18-year-old Muskegon woman, was pushing the stroller in the parking lot of the business when the van began to back up, reports Mlive.

The van struck the woman first, knocking her to the ground, then backed into the stroller, at which point the stroller became stuck on the vehicle, police said.
