DALLAS — Updated at 7:29 p.m. with more information.

A young child was killed after a rollover crash Thursday night on Interstate 35 in Northwest Dallas, officials say. 

The crash occurred around 9:45 p.m. just before the Northwest Highway exit, according to the Dallas County Sheriff's Office. 

The Dallas County Sheriff's Office said later Friday they are still investigating, but said it seems that the 5-year-old child "was not secured in the vehicle."

Officials on scene say good Samaritans stopped to help transport the child to the hospital after it was ejected from the vehicle, but pulled over a short distance later and called police after realizing the child had died. 

There doesn't seem to be a second car involved in the crash, officials said.

The crash is still under investigation.
