The girl was discovered a few blocks later when the tow truck driver stopped to check on a loose wheel strap and noticed her, police said.
The tow truck driver wasn't cited for towing an occupied vehicle because he didn't know the girl was inside, Rolon said.
Under state law, the mother could have been charged with child neglect if the child had been younger than 6.
