A two-year-old boy climbed under a commercial vehicle that was hauling trash from an empty house. The toddler was unnoticed by the driver of the truck or his passenger. Apparently, when the truck drove off the little boy got caught in the undercarriage.
It was reported that the two-year-old boy lived next door to the empty house and was out playing. The drivers had no idea that the little boy was under their truck.
This tragic accident is one that just rips your heart out. I can only imagine the pain that the family of the little boy feels. I also feel sorry for the truck drivers who did not know the little boy was under the truck. I'm sure that this tragic accident is going to be very difficult for them to deal with as well.
