An eight-year-old boy was killed on Monday afternoon after being struck by a runaway truck carrying hardware supplies, including concrete bricks, in Five Rivers, Arouca.
It happened along Savannah Drive Extension while the child was playing in the yard of his family’s home.
Preliminary reports indicate that the truck’s driver lost control while descending a hill, causing the vehicle to veer into the yard where the child was at the time. A younger sibling who was nearby escaped unharmed.
