A toddler has died after being run over by a car in Waikato.

The 18-month-old is believed to have followed a cat down the drive of his Matamata house and into the neighbour's driveway just as a man was reversing his car on Sunday.

He was flown to Waikato Hospital but died a short time after arrival.

Police are investigating.
