2-Year Old Boy Fatally Struck Outside Home in Fontana

July 27, 2017 | Filed under: Car Accident


July 24th ─ a 2-year old boy, who just celebrated his 2nd birthday on Monday, was accidentally struck and killed Tuesday morning by an SUV driven by a relative who was backing out of a driveway, according to Fontana police. The incident occurred around 10:20 a.m. when Fontana Police Department received calls of a child who was run over. A family member, who neighbors later identified as the child’s own grandmother, was backing a 2003 Ford Expedition out of a driveway in the 16500 block of El Revino Drive. The grandmother was re-parking the SUV in order to make room for more family members who were on the way. The SUV struck the boy, whom no one had noticed snuck out and was behind the vehicle, according to Fontana Police. “It seems that a family member went to move the vehicle,” said Fontana police Officer Jay Sayegh. “There was something taking place in the house this morning where, the child, unfortunately, followed the family member outside”.

Family members frantically called emergency responders. A neighbor who lives across the street, and who is also a nurse, conducted CPR on the victim until first responders could arrive and administer life-saving efforts. Sadly the child succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers did not cite the driver or make any arrests. “It’s one of the worst calls you can go to,” said Sayegh. “It was nothing suspicious, just a tragic accident”.

The Fontana Police Major Accident Investigation Team is investigating but so far this seems to be ruled as an accident. “Most of us are parents ourselves. You can’t help but imagine if that was us,” Sayegh said. “It’s extremely difficult but we have to try and handle it as professionally as possible and give the family whatever closure we can. Nothing we can say or do will make anyone feel any better.”
