Articles labeled: toddler run over at car wash

A tragic accident occurred at a Victoria, Texas car wash when a toddler was run over while playing at a self-serve car wash.

Police say the toddler and his six-year-old brother had been playing Thursday afternoon while their parents cleaned their white Mitsubishi sedan. The driver of the Hummer, who had just finished vacuuming his vehicle and pulled forward, was not speeding when the toddler was hit.

“He didn’t do anything wrong. He just didn’t see the small child that had wandered away. This is an absolute unfortunate accident,” said Police Chief Bruce Ure in Friday’s online edition of the Victoria Advocate.
