Officials say a 3-year-old girl is expected to recover after being left alone in a vehicle Sunday evening in Litchfield Park.

Just before 7:30 p.m., Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies were called to the area of El Mirage Road and Marshall Avenue for reports of an unresponsive child.

When deputies arrived they learned the child, a little girl, was left alone in a vehicle for an unspecified amount of time.

The girl was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

On Wednesday, hospital officials told MCSO the girl is expected to make a full recovery with no long-lasting issues.

During an investigation, it was learned the girl's 32-year-old mother arrived at her home with her children and rushed inside leaving behind the 3-year-old.

MCSO tells ABC15 it will be submitting charges to the County Attorney for review. So far no charges have been filed.
