TOLEDO, Ohio — A toddler required life-saving medicine and was hospitalized after overdosing in east Toledo on Sunday.

Toledo Police were dispatched to the 500 block of Milton Street just before 6:30 p.m. for an unconscious 1-year-old.

Police say the mother transported the 1-year-old to St. Vincent Medical Center before crews could arrive.

The mother told officers the child was outside with her 10-year-old son when he came in and told her the 1-year-old found a baggie outside and had put it into their mouth.

The 1-year-old then became unresponsive.

Police say the 1-year-old was given Narcan at the hospital and regained consciousness.

TPD's vice unit responded and opened an investigation.
