Eight-year-old Gideon Smart was crushed to death yesterday, after a runaway truck crashed into his family’s home at Savannah Road, Arouca.
Homeowner Martin Gardner and his neighbours ran out of their houses around 3 pm, after hearing a loud crashing sound. When they got outside, they realised an open-tray truck loaded with concrete bricks and other building supplies had rammed into Gardner’s home.
